i've got the highsport ones with no rebound adjustment, paid just shy of £450 for them and i cant fault them, not too harsh even tho the cars dropped about 100mm all round!
would def. recommend them!

the mk5 arches are plenty big for a 120mm drop so long as your on 195 45 15 et38 7x15 you cant go any lower really cos the subframe is about 1/4" off the driveshaft

the arches arent rolled so do get some scrubbage with anyone in the back or on the front if taking a corner full pelt!
cant get full lock either... lol
i'm running 7.5 x 16 ET 35 (so need 5mm spacers up front!) with 195/45/16 falkens
soon to get 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear so might have to re-think the drop at the back end....

dont see why not, they're only 15 x 6.5" if memory serves me correctly... they'll tuck well into the arches i would have thought!

so 100mm without hitting drive shafts? Doesn’t sound healthy!!
Will adding wheel spacers make any difference to this?
