More than welcome guys  :happy2:

I purchased from AwesomeGti.co.uk - They came to about £133.74 Delievered lol. Which in the scheme of things is'nt alot!

Fitting cost me £100 - (About 3 hours labour), and I'm just waiting for them to bed in before i have full alignment (although im not sure how necessary this is? )

I find FK suspension to be shockingly bad!

My choice would be Eibach or H&R or if you want a full kit look at the Bilstein B12 (this is what I have on my mk5)

Wish you had said that 2 weeks ago. I put some FK highsports I think they were, managed a week and then off they came, gave a VERY low stance, but rode appalingly, swapped them for some AP coilovers, which are nowhere near as good as the Bilsteins that I originally took off in favour of the FK's, but do get it lower, which was what I was after.

I paid £100 for my h&r's about 18 months ago, pretty good springs, then £150 at midland VW for fitting and tracking.

I have installed H&R Springs and I can highly recommend them. I wanted to achieve the same result as you, slightly lower but keeping stockish ride comfort and I defo got it with my springs. :happy2:

I take it that its ok just to change the springs then, I always thought you would need to change the shocks too, or would that be the case with my gt tdi?
