Hi All,

Lurk on here every so often so thought I may as well introduce myself.

Owned my MK1 since 1997, but it was taken off the road a few years back due to work and life commitments.

Despite having a bit of a busy year, I decided that something needed to be done with it so I have just picked it up from Woodsport after a "slight" refresh.

Seemed to do the job and Paul was happy with them :)

That's a really good price considering it includes arb and steering rack bushes. Due to the coilovers being done at the same time are you able to notice any difference the bushes have made?

It is really difficult to say as it wasn't just coilovers that were new. New balljoints, wheelbearings (as everything was stripped, shotblasted and powdercoated), front droplinks and mk2 turbo ARB, so it would be unfair for me to .
