Are these race springs or sport lowering springs? By the price, id say its
the later of the 2. Sounds good to me, but i got a set from Timmons for
$155.00 Free shipping too! Shop around with some of the VW Tuners and see
what they can do, price wise.

That seems kinda high, I paid $22.00 for mine from my local Auto Parts Club.
Another $8.00 for the kit. Ya just gotta shop around...........
