How come you've ditched the coilies for springs mate? Too crashy?
I'm on H&R springs and standard shocks and it rides quite nicely, but I keep thinking I'd like it a bit lower. Just don't want to end up ruining the ride though, which means I might have to pay big money for some coilies with adjustable damping.

hi yeah a little bit hard for me ...people have told me i should have gave them more time to soften up.. they are fixed damping set at 30% i guess standard shocks are set about 60%.....

They wouldn't soften up by much at all so you've probably done the right thing. I've found some coilovers are ok in the summer but get really harsh and crashy in colder weather. Standard GTI shocks seem to work well with Eibach and H&R springs and you still get a decent drop.
