a quick post because i'm at work just to provide an opinion,
I have b6's with standard Peugeot springs and have found the set up very impressive and progressive. Driving around town and at slow speeds you wouldn't really know the suspension is uprated and apart from really bad pot-holes which do feel a bit harsh the ride is pretty comfortable. The set up really comes alive when you start to push on and it seems the more you push it the better it gets in terms of responsiveness and 'flat-cornering-ness'.
The only thing I would be concerned bout with coilovers is the harshness, baring in mind the condition of the majority of roads in the UK. I don't know much about them, is it possible to set them soft enough to perform well on bumpy roads or will they skip all over the place?
