Not sure what one's to go for now, I've heard good things about the H&R cup kit but its a bit out of my price range.

What I would say is spend a wee bit more now, I have fitted Cheaper B4's Scahs type shocks in the past and ended up selling the car because
I hated the feel of it and pissed at myself for not spending a few pound more and the time I spent fitting softer after market shocks than the oe ones I took out  :stupid:

Spring wise H&R or Eibach can't go wrong ....Shocks I think trade Volkswagen are not to bad for them, or
use the KYB, I fit these to alot of Scoobys and jap stuff and would be stiffer than Standard stuff  :happy2:

Yeah, think your right mate. The ride on the car the now is sh*t plus the fact the rear shockers knock makes me almost hate driving it. I've not had too much luck with it since buying it but I'm determined to get it right.

I had planned on just swapping the shocks over and keeping the VWR springs but now I can see me just buying a complete spring and shock kit and selling the VWR springs.

After a reading through a few reviews on this site and others I've decided to go for the Bilstein B12 kit - Just need to start saving now :wink: Cheapest place I found was Awesome GTi.
