I have a B5 Avant 2.5tdi with about 130k miles and looking to tighten things up - I have spotted the above coilovers at what seems a good price (£260) but are they any good. They are only height adjustable which I'm ok with probably look to drop 25mm from standard height at most.Will be looking to fit a complete set of suspension arms at the same time.

if you are only looking for a 25mm drop just buy some lowering springs, much cheaper and will take it down 30mm.

but jamex are ok, not the best but they are good at getting low

Look at one of the Eibach sport packages if you want a small drop - the Jamex coilovers can make the ride very crashy on broken surfaces.

you pay for what you get.

i'd look at AP or Weitec coils if you want low with a decent ride...
