FK Highsports on mine. Can't fault them, Ride is'nt harsh.

Only thing I'd say is if your buying a set pay extra for the stainless steel versions.

im using evo ones ther great :D both fk and evo ones are very similar tho (my mate has fk ones on his 6n) they both lower the car by the same amount but i wud say the evo's will giv a harder ride but ther less prone to corrosion

Thanks all

I do apologise my title should of been EVO vs FK. but looks like I got the right response any way. for the mo I think I'm just gonna fit some old OEM dampers i've got myself and get the the tracking and camber done for £65 at Thomas Mackay. (Accident repair centre).

Next year I will look at coilies and hopefully see some of your cars first.

cheers

tracking an camber for £65?! take it somewher else lol. you cant adjust the camber on our cars because there is no adjuster. so its simply the tracking tell the garage that an they will probly do it cheaper but 65 quid seems abit steep anyway

o ryt, well have you tried any tire and exhaust places? ther usualy pretty cheap. cant belive VW dealers just because they have that shiney badge on the front of there garage makes them think they can charge loyal customers about 5 times more than anywher else :x its sad

You can't adjust the camber on the rear wheels. You can adjust the camber on the front wheels but not by very much unless you use different bolts to enable more adjustment (this is why there has been talk of H&R camber-adjusting bolts recently) :)
