Does anyone know what coilovers these are? Are they TA Technix (for £150 offer, thats a steal compared to over on CP!)?

Haha for a good reason! I'll be going to all shows when i've passed, you have no idea how tempting it is having a car on your drive everyday which you want to drive anywhere - yet have to have an adult over 21 with 3 years experience
I heard from Alex P that the coilovers are a slag to fit Tim? I'm sure i'll be getting some advice from you and alex when the time comes to fit.

They're not really that bad actually. They just took me and him ages to fit. we had to trip to Halfords twice, we lost light about an hour later so we were working in porch light conditions, the GTi exhaust has to be removed to get the old strut out etc etc etc....
If you know what your doing, you've got all the tools and you have light it's not that bad.
The guide on here for the 6N is good, have a ganders

Mine came inside a week, good customer service too. I complained about one of my rears possibly needing to be re-gassed and they just sent me a complete rear set for free within two days!
Yep they come with bumpstops, I used the ones from my old suspension though.

The rear nearside strut was compressing alot more than the other. they were level, but when i had a full load it depressed alot further than the offside.
