You tend to find most of the ebay specials from Germany are all the same. I've got a set fitted to mine (could possibly be red line). They are great for the price if your just after lowering your car. If you are going to run them as low as they will go then obviously the ride won't be as comfortable. You'll find the front will drop very low and the rears not so much. I'd prefer mine to be a little lower on the rear (I've even taken the adjusters out).

Mines already lowered on KW coilies but the front passenger side shock has collapsed and is now ruining my bushes and suspension arms so im just needing a reliable replacement as i dont plan in keeping the car much longer i dont want to spend too much on them, i could always keep the back springs on that i have as my car sits perfectly in my opinion
