I also have been mostly happy. On my 79 Scirocco, Neuspeed to a direct question
told me that the springs would go right in ... they did not. I had to 
go out and
get a different "fitting" for the spring to sit in. The original 
springs were of
a consistent column radius top to bottom. On the model that NS shipped me the
spring radius gets smaller at the top and bottom.
