GTN Kit is adjustable seated fixed spring on the rear and height adjustable coilover on the front. Remember the 90 pounds you pay in shipping would be eaten up with taxes if you were to buy in the UK anyway.
These are full coilovers (there is a cheaper GTN kit like mine for the mk3) but ledtunings shipping is off the scale so pick the product you want and give demon tweaks a call
Edit. UK is 9 hours behing AEST so you have all evening...
Just one example but as they stock everything from cheap to KW have a look at products before you decide. I got my Weitec coilovers from here for less than $900 landed and I'm very happy
that is fkn pro! $841.56 for my 97CL on all four corners + delivery included!
mk3vr6 used lowering springs and his car looks pretty damn low.
Whats the story with them Steve?
Well there not just a lowered spring I have adjustable shocks. When I bought the car it was making a knocking sound funny enough thought it was the bushings. Took it to the mechanics and said that it was the spring it was coil binding WTF. Had a look at it while it was turning and you could see that the tyre was turning one way and it didn't want to give way. The main problem was that the shock was sitting at a medium setting. I could have simply fixed this problem adjusting the thing back to standard... This wasn't going to happen.
I shopped and went to K-mac springs, where I got them to make a adjustable coil so that if I wanted to I could lower it or make it higher. Thus making it a Coilover kit.
Problem solved I think at the moment its a 40mm drop. It will look lower once the 16's go on(smaller tyre)
I can still drop it to even lower
Mine are good no problems at all and pretty good good ride yet stiff somewhat.

how much did that end up costing? is that still with the stock shocks?
Frankly, I reckon if the suspension is lousy the car is lousy. If I couldn't go to a Koni or Bilstein setup I'd leave the factory stuff there. Suspension - even the cheapy stuff - is too much money and mucking around to be doing experiments. And its too critical to be driving on to be going backwards from the factory setup. Same goes for second hand struts. Struts are good for about 60,000 Ks. Its the same cost or trouble to put in old ones as new ones.

Address is 1 James St, Waitara. Phone: (02) 9476-2999. Good to call up first as sometimes they might not have what you're after in stock.
They have a lot of new parts for our cars.
Alternatively, you can give Matt a.k.a. Golf Loon a call on 0423051737. A sponsor here, he'll be able to give you some cheap deals on second-hand stuff.
