Also does anyone on here know what size strut the FSI 2.0 model is? 50mm or 55mm?
Or know a way of checking.. Thanks

Mine was/is 55mm. You can tell by checking your front brake caliper - if it has a particular marking on it, it's the 50mm. I can't recall the specifics off the top of my head but that should be enough for you to go on / search for. But chances are it's 55mm.

Whats the ride comfort on them like? We use our Jetta as a family car and dont want them to be too stiff.

I love mine but don't recommend them on a family car... not very comfortable at all!

Finally got them in! Loving them so far.
Just bit weird getting used to the stiffness but looks so good!

Looks good- looks like you haven't wound them down yet? So how is the ride?

The fronts are at 10 threads from the bottom and rears are at 4 threads from the bottom.
I'm scraping on pretty much every speed bump and think iv'e hit my oil pan a few times so need to raise it a bit!

The ride is nice and stiff, definitely can feel a big improvement handling wise, just sometimes gets annoying with many speed bumps, but awesome coil overs!

The handling improvement is my main concern- looks great though!
Did you install yourself? If so how long did it take you?
I think I'll be ordering a set early '16.
