DPM will ship the weitec's (and im assuming most other kits) to Australia for 125 quid

Cost = [(item-17%VAT)+125postage]*exchangerate*paypal currency conversion = KW for less than $950 landed with current rates.

Got my coilovers from there as well, over 1 year ago

Just looking at a set of FK or JOM's... Nothing flash, cos I'm not going to have the car for much longer anyway...

So that's like the B12 kit?

Got my KW's from DPM too, pleasure to deal with but had to wait ~4weeks while kw pulled their finger out and actually made the things!! Make sure you get the GTI specific coils as they have the FSB mounting lug in a different position to avoid contact

Yeah, just spoke to them on the phone... They seem pretty easy to deal with. £125 for postage is pretty good too. I'm not going for KW's or anything too flash, and these days I don't have to deal with horrendous Queensland roads (compared to Qld, the ACT's roads are amazing!!), so I'm just going with a set of FK's.
I need new shocks, but after looking at the price of Bilstein's (what I was originally looking at), then comparing them to coil overs, I went with getting coil overs...
