Thanks my man.
Where did you purchase these from?

I got them off eBay searching those part numbers. Cheapest at the time was from Germany even with postage but not sure if that is as easy or viable now.
I ordered my B12 Audi S6 kit from Germany (not knowing that was were the warehouse was placed) and then thinking I might have been hit by VAT and/or duties. I ended up not having to pay anything though as it was shipped as 2 parcels and they put £100 value for each parcel.

Albeit abit pricey fir a road car that will see occasional track use! Debating on the h&r cup kit, awesome has it for £580 atm! Anyone used it before?

Yes it's confusing.
B12 just means B8 dampers + some springs.
If you want ride comfort and mild lowering, you need a B12 'Pro' kit for a MK6 Golf.
If you just get a B12 kit for a MK5 GTI, you will get the B12 'Sportline' kit which is waaaaay harsher and lower.
The easiest way to spot the difference is:
Sportline = red springs @ -30 to -40mm lower than a GTI
Pro = black springs at -25 to 30mm lower than a non-GTI
Since non-GTIs are 10-15mm taller than a GTI, the final lowering of a GTI with Pro kit would be approx -10 to 15mm

I have to say, your price for that kit is the best. So a couple of us have put orders through you in the last few days :happy2:
