Yeah sorry, just realized he did it the other way round!
I'm pretty sure someone has tried VWR dampers with VW springs though!
Further to my comments about clunks and 'bottoming out' (bumpstop hitting), it appears I didn't do something quite right when I fitted the VWR kit as the nearside is the only one that clunks on medium bumps, leading to me believe it was crashing into the bumpstops. I think I didn't tighten the strut top nut enough. Will let you know, but it would mean one of the negatives of the VWR kit I mentioned in my PM is false
The more I drive it with the VWR kit, the more I'm bonding with it. There's a particular back road which is a fast, sweeping and uneven surface. On the original suspension, it used to jiggle around so much I had to slow down, and I wasn't even going that fast. With the VWR, it just glides over it and the body control is superb.
