Do you rate ST coilovers? $1029 shipped, hurr. I'm a uni student, and my hours at work have just been cut back. Hate life.

Absolutely love that colour, will look dope a bit closer to the ground

Just over $1k, so add on $200 for customs.

Thanks VWfresh I didn't like it at first but it's really grown on me, you don't see many around either which is a plus! Love that GST, AusScare I import most of my camera gear from the US, so I swear the Customs people know me by name.

Alright, I've pretty much decided I may as well just grab some Ta Technix like yours, Dylan. If they last me 80,000km then I'll be very happy, and by that point hopefully I'll be in a much better situation financially where I can upgrade. I can bring in the Ta Technix for AU$340, which is ridiculously cheap. I realise that I get what I pay for

yeah man, heads up they are rough. but I had blown standard shocks so any upgrade was worth while

Thanks dude, yeah, the car's a bit of a boat at the moment and I've disliked that since the day I got it. Can't wait for some stiffness :p
Will I have to buy an aftermarket front sway bar if lowering >40mm? I read that somewhere.

Yep... get a FK or H&R, believe they are the only bars to handle a 45mm+ drop.
otherwise just remove the stock one if you feel like being dodgy and cheap like me

[VWfresh]

im pretty lowish and my sway hasn't rubbed yet, so you might be lucky, just make sure you have enough clearance to clear the coilovers im about ~3mm from rubbing.
