Finally got them in! Loving them so far.
Just bit weird getting used to the stiffness but looks so good!

Looks good- looks like you haven't wound them down yet? So how is the ride?

[GolfMK5AT]

The fronts are at 10 threads from the bottom and rears are at 4 threads from the bottom.
I'm scraping on pretty much every speed bump and think iv'e hit my oil pan a few times so need to raise it a bit!

The ride is nice and stiff, definitely can feel a big improvement handling wise, just sometimes gets annoying with many speed bumps, but awesome coil overs!

The handling improvement is my main concern- looks great though!
Did you install yourself? If so how long did it take you?
I think I'll be ordering a set early '16.

Yeah the handling is awesome. Feel so much more in control.

I half put them in myself with a friend then had to get someone to come in and help us because we got stuck with the fronts.
The rears were simple though.
I would recommend getting them put in by a mechanic if you've never done them before or don't have someone with you who has done it before!
