from what i can see the supersport ones aren't available for the 6n2 only the mk4. The fk's from venom are £400, think you've forgotten they don't quote vat.
I've just imported some from germany for £300, forgotten the make of them but they're supposed to be excellant, they're being fitted as i write this so i'll let you know.

Coilovers are on and are the mutts. Its dropped a good 70mm at the rear (scrubs like hell) and i still have 6cm of thread left! The front needs dropping a little more though. They feel like very good shocks, very comfy and not to bumpy. Handles like its on rails too.
Anyone who wants some cheap coilovers (£260 inc delivery) then these are awesome.
Bought them from this guy but he hasn't any on ebay at the moment. Speaks good english though...

I don't know what brand they are, they do say on them but i've forgotten! I have 195/45/16 stretched over 8j x 16, which actually measure 9" wide. Thats why they scrub!

if youre on 15s with 195/45/15 then it shouldnt be a problem

i think its because its 16" thats why they scrub, my mates mk4 has dropped 100mm running on 195/45/15 its just fine. any pics of your ride with the coilovers on

It scrubs cos there 8inches wide and the 195's are stretched like hell to fit them! The fact they're 16's doesn't help. Tempted to buy some 7x15's so i can slam it right down.

Scrubbage sorted. Good old fashioned hammer and careful precision smacking! Might lower the back more now...
