For the rears I've not heard a bad word said. All rave reviews.

Awesome GTI recommend them heavily too (and do them at a good price usually).

I have bwf18z and bwr19z both are adjustable and on their firmest setting. rear one was easy to fit. front one was a bit more involved. they certainly helped with handling. price wise they cost about £110 each (march 09).

best bet is just to stiffen the rear ARB, helps reduce the understeer.

My experience in the past is to add/stiffen rear ARBs to get the best balance.

For front wheel drive some people even remove the front when uprating the front struts/springs.
