all of those above will be similar quality to the ones you are running already mate. Spend an extra £15o quid and buy something half decent.. like:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AP-Coilover-S ... 27b7eef7ae" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or even better..

Been using Weitec for years and years, worth every penny.
Buy it nice or buy it twice.

Weitec ones seem to be popular. I have FK Konigsport Coilovers but these are the next stage up from the silverline ones. I think FK are a little harsher from the stuff i have read.

course they're not as good, they cost half the money. but its all a question of budget at the end of the day innit, theres no way i can afford to drop that kind of cash on a daily driver that only cost me 400 quids, however much i might like to. obvs you get what you pay for, but for the cash-strapped the joms get the job done, tesco value of the coilover world, not necessarily deserving of the slating they often get imho.
let us know how you get on with the weitecs!

Got these Weitecs on the Passat daily, I've found them to be pretty impressive - as she's a heavy old barge...still need to get the rear adjusted up as they've settled with reverse rake...
