Hi, if you are interested, i have a complete set of lowered springs (40mm allround) for a mk4, purchased from German and swedish at a retail price of £56 inc. vat. I used these for a week before changing to coilovers. I found the ride to be ok with standard shocks, but nothing like the original ride quality. I'm selling these at £45. If you decide to go with coilovers, make sure they're quality.... Jamex ones aren't good enough. It all depends on budget....
