Cheers guys for the help, after all this decision making, think I'll just go with the -2 springs, seeing that a few members are running them on the vRS 

Just for info for people. Amazon have got the 28833-2 springs for under £100 including delivery.

where? can't find them

Just looked in my wish list, and they've gone back up to £148 delivered.

Looks like it was a pricing error on Sunday :(

argh well :( Thanks M12MKD for the heads up

Sorry bud......I managed to get a set. Maybe I should have bought a few sets and tried to sell them lol

Looking at a pair of these for my petrol vRS - with the H&S springs, did anyone notice the ride to be significantly bouncier?

 

Wondering whether to either get aftermarket shocks at the same time, or a coilover combo.

@mabnz I ended up buying Eibach springs but then sold them on because I changed my mind about lowering the vRS.

If you do go ahead with lowering the car depending on how low you want to go etc...I would suggest changing the standard shocks anyway.
