Lovely ED30 Kieran - have you still got the mk1 too?!

I've no experience of coilovers on the mk5, but in terms of ride height, I wanted a minimal drop on mine. 20mm was just right IMHO - I used VWR springs.
Have always heard good things about Bilsteins - had a set on my old mkiv - very good dampers I thought...

I was thinking that too lol but might be a reason for it like the owner has a steep drive or a very bumpy street haha the black one looks low but can't really tell 100% as the car and the tyres blend in.
