However I have a set of BILSTEIN - B16 sport suspension and threaded ride height adjustable kit on my Golf Mk6 TSI, DSG Estate..
The previous owner had the kit fitted at an horrendous price.
Now the car looks really good when it's lowered but at that setting when you go over a slightest bump it will knock your teeth out, even with all the extra comfort you get from the Highline model which is top of the range.
The kit is fully adjustable and he had it set up on medium and nowhere near race setup.
I've now set it to soft and it's much better but I still could soften it some more.
I hear so often Mk1 owners buying kits and after a while realise that it's just to darn hard and revert back to the original set as long as they haven't sold it yet!
By the way mine is standard but a mate off mine bought a Sportline with a kit on and as above it was way to hard and it took him a year to find a good standard set to put on but now he's well happy.

The kit I am looking at comes with taper wire rear springs so just wondered if these fit a late model cabby or not. They aren't silly money so if they fit I will take a punt on them.
