Coilover kit for Jetta TDI?

[vdubmotorworx]

Hey guys.... need some new shocks for my Jetta 2008 TDI so good excuse to modify!! Its just our daily drive and just want to drop it down so the 18" rims sit nice into the arches as the gap at the moment is shocking!!... not looking to spend mega bucks as like I said its just our daily TDI so extreme handling not required but needs to be adjustable height as to me the perfect height makes the car and also need to retain a good degree of comfort whilst keeping the $$ to a min! any recommendations??...VDUB...

Same as a FWD MK5/6 Golf/ 1Z Octavia/FWD Audi A4 of equivalent model/chassis so probably good to have a poke around in those areas & see what the cool kids have done.

As they are height adjustable, they generally don't do different spring rates to offset the extra weight of the diesel up fron or the extra weight of the boot hanging out the back.

i too, am looking for something similar too my jetta 125 tdi... did you find any good options? specifically for the heavier tdi and not the petrol or gti golfs?

most sites i visit seem to just list the gti suspensions and our tdi jettas get neglected
