i fitted coilovers on my 1.8t 2 weeks ago and i would say go for it. its the only way to get the back and front sitting even.
i had springs fitted before the coilovers and the car just looked the same at the back as when it was standard so i wasted alot of money there payed to get them fitted too

.
a mate and i fitted fk silverlines to mines and i think there pretty good a little bumpy at times but i doubt theres any kits out there that wont be.
not heard of vmaxx i dont think but £451 for konis fitted seems like a bargain are you sure these prices are right?
