No probs at all with mine Matt, really pleased with them as the comfort (if you can call it that) is almost identical  :happy2:

Ok, so apart from Eibach, what other manufacturers are worth considering? Just looking at a couple of Golf tuning websites, I can spot:

Koni
Neuspeed
Spax
Apex

Anyone got experience / comparison of these?

The H&R springs are suppost to do the job very well. Neg has them on his car but in conjunction with Koni FSD's and they look the bollocks. Cant imagine there would be too much difference with standard shocks  :happy2:
