I've not had an experience with these, but if i had a nice shiny mk4 i wouldn't put cheap coilovers on it. Get some Weitec fixed rate springs and dampers mate

Ive got FK coilovers on mine, there ok, a bit bumpy, however I put that down to the 18's I fitted at the same time more than the suspension, as when I stuck the standard 15's back on the ride was superb.

Corrosion - plenty of grease on the threads & they'll be fine! What suspension kit doesnt go like that when used on the roads?
