Default Spax Coilovers ?

I am thinking of buying the Spax RSX coilover kit. This because it was the only coilover set i could find that had the possibility of adjusting it up to a close to original height (very important to have good ground clearance here i Tromso in Norway at winter).
It is adjustable from 10mm - 65mm in front, and 10mm - 50 at rear.

Does anybody have any experience with these coilovers, or does anybody have any other suggestions to coilvers for my 00` 2.0 ?

Spax is pretty rare in the States, so I doubt you'll get much info. I have heard that they're pretty stiff, though.

Have you looked at KW? Stainless steel bodies which is a nice plus in a harsh winter environment. H&R is always good and they ride beautifully (my friend has them on his Jetta). Their Dune Buggy coilovers can go one inch higher than stock or one in lower than stock, If my memory serves me.

They are fully adjustable on the stiffness too KW and H&R are the coilovers i wanted on my beetle, but they are adjustable only from -35mm
I guess the Dune buggy coilovers are not going too be TÜV for a 2.0 beetle, so the MoT(?) control (EU-kontroll in Norway ) are going too be a problem! Thanks for the suggestion however!

That sounds good man! How high can you adjust the Eibach coilovers and is the ride comfortable?
