Agreed, would be interested in how it ended up and what you started with?

Was your model the Sport? I believe they were lower already from the factory, just wondering what sort of drop you would get with the B12's and how the ride is compared to standard?

Here we go then, its been along time since I wrote a review. If I miss anything just ask.

The B12's sportline are now fitted! 45-50mm front 30-35 mm on rear
Bear in mind the following.
My Tdi is just a 2.0l 140 se and I was not looking to scrape the floor with coilovers. (love the look but not practical and speed humps everywhere in Bristol)
This car is doing approx 24k a year and also carry the wife and kids on weekends in relative comfort, now on 116k.
Still running the se 16's so the tyres mixed between Bridgestone and Conti's are 55 profile and give somewhat when cornering. (looking for Pescara's for summer and cant wait to feel the performance difference and look on 18's)

With all that in mind!
Just me driving: WOW
What a difference it has made firstly the car now feels and looks level not boot high, also the body roll, its next to none now. No more sea sickness round corners and roundabouts.
Roundabouts are much more fun (even being front wheel drive)
Still comfortable on the motorway (70miles a day).

With the family and loaded up.
Still good, not bumpy at all and no complaints from the wife. (she doesnt understand the whole VW mod thing)
Son who's 4, cant wait to inherit the Jetta as his first car.

Dont have pictures as yet coz when i get home its dark, maybe have time over weekend and will post before and after.

In summary I am thankfull to Graeme @ GNJ Motorsport for all his advice and service that he has given me and the cheapest in the UK. Good luck with the workshop.
This B12 Sportline kit has made a great difference and it feels like driving a new car again. It brings me back to my younger years with my MK2 Jetta Gti 16v
Oh thanks for reading.

Excellent. Glad you happy with the kit, sounds good. I know the Sport is already lowered by 15mm and sightly stiffer settings so wonder how different it would be with the B12's.
