H&R are german so it would stand to reason that you could get them.
Yeah, you can. At least who supplied my sway bars said he could get stuff sold in the USA. You can ask AKS Tuning, for example.

Just a quick query
I've got H&R 30mm springs on my ED30 with OE shocks....a very nice combo for road use.

I' m toying at doing the shocks for some more control on damping when I take her on track occasionally next year.

Are the Koni Sport dampers as comfy as the Bilstein B8 with these springs?

I had KW Clubsports on two previous ED30's and they were brilliant and very comfy and you could really wind them up when needed....,.costly though.

The B8 dampers are £600 on their own.

Any pointers for best deals on both makes?

Or do I bite the bullet with KW's again ?
Pearl Black Edition 30 3 Door. DSG. (3rd Edition 30)
Maybe on the too do list: APR Stage 2+, KW Clubsports, Brakes, Diff.

I like my Koni Sports with H&R -30 mm. They're comfy enough for me. I don't know how the B8 would be like so I can't comment.

If you know the KW Clubsports are what you really like and you can't get any GTI with the other suspension options to try out, I'd go for the KW.

My Koni Sports cost 464,40 €, much cheaper that that price you mentioned for the Bilstein B8. I think you can get the B8 from Germany cheaper than £ 600. Around 500-550 €, maybe.
