So ST is the rebranding for the Weitec brand - AP outer bodies and KW internals?
I was wondering who they were after Jamie Orr youtube videos is now sponsored by them.

It may be fine for you bud, but driving my existing car with 141k old standard shocks, and 30mm H&R Lowering springs, felt better :thinking:

I recently replaced my 180k old stock springs/dampers with Bilstein B4 and Eibach springs, plus did the usual ball joints, top mounts etc at the same time and also fitted front and rear Whiteline ARBs and tie rods. I now enjoy driving my car again, although I'd be interested in a set of springs that didn't drop the car, even the 20mm that these Eibach's do.

wow 180k on original shocks :congrats:
Are B4s the standard shocks that are fitted to the GTi?
Cheers

Yeah when I was looking into it they seem to match the standard shocks. A spring has definitely been replaced as one had been broken, but yeah it's a lot of miles for the originals. Just prefer the stock look, plus the Eibachs have lowered the back more than the front so I need to realign the headlights.
