Had them on my car for over a year now no problems.

Keep an eye out on the rear springs though, mine look like theyre rusting through, but I ordered a spare set of springs for the rear for 50 odd quid, just in case!

how many did u get? 14?? lol they are ok for the price but apparantly theres this nut on the fronts u need to tighten as they can leak fluid. i bought mine from ebay too and within 2 months of fitting one of mine is leaking and squeeking. only thing is if u buy from somone like damien at dpm he will uphold the warranty whereas these ebay sellers most likely wont. ive messaged the ebay seller to get a replacement but im not gonna get my hopes up lol

Probably more than plenty.

fronts you can drop the helper spring out to give you another 30-40mm if not more drop in the front.

Rear you can take the adjuster out and run them in the cup.

I had Jom's on my a3, the fronts will go low enough to actually sit your sump on the deck but the backs are a little different. On the back i ended up taking the adjustment cups completely out and the rubber bump stops off the top of the spring so that it sat level with the front. :D

my thoughts are lowering 35-40mm will that be adjusted easily without removing anything from the coilover?

For the back yea, what size wheels to you have? i had 18's 8.5j with 225-40's on them and with the rear adjustment cups in but on their lowest setting the tires on the back just started to tuck in the arches. It did look good but i had lowered the front about 55-60mm so i had to loose the cups to even the ride out.
