Just had b12 and eibach springs fitted and the car handles well on smooth roads. I can deal with this suspension everyday(just) so if you plan on using the car regularly- bear in mind the terrible roads you will be using every day.

Even on 2/3 toward hard setting my b16 are well behaved on the roads.

I changed them to full soft again the other day as there's generally no place to warrant driving fast enough to need stiff settings on the road.  They are so quick and easy to change the damping settings

Check out Meister R range. Much more affordability then the rest and are made to suit UK Roads.   Adjustable camber/dampening, and Jerrick will always answer your questions.

I'm looking at what Meister R has to offer and looks great but how well do they perform on a track, does anyone have this brand on their car?

Hi I can't speak for the Golf specifically,c but I have Quantum Black adjustables on my VX220 and on both road and track it's superb. Not cheap though...
