And yes i did ring everyone, it was my hour of need and no1 came to my rescue, so i rung nick and had a lovely gab
S3's still here mate, need a car to get to work so I had to buy one before it sells so im not car less !
Had to downgrade due to moving out, got a 106 GTi now

***Update***
Fitted the coilovers today and what a difference, drives so much better, just fidling round with hard and soft settings at the moment
Firstly got all the old suspension off, then i copper greased the coils, the back of the wheel, spacers and the hub,


Then on went the coilovers (on lowest setting )

Once i lowered it the mudflaps were abit to close to the floor, near enough permantly touching, so iv had to chop them quite drastically

Its alot lower then it was 

No pics of whole car yet as its minging but couple of how the fronts sitting

you say the front is wound all the way down?
what modding did you have to do to your exhaust so it doesnt scrape?
any mods to the backbox?
