Get some 20-25mm lowering springs and you should be ok.

Well personally I’m going to grab the eibach lowering springs as part of an OEM feel for driving but a little lower and stiffer. (20-25mm) more of a semi decent budget combo for me.
Opinions and plenty of posts on this forum regarding reviews etc and the search is now working

Curious to know if you lower the car with those springs do you need to get it aligned again?

I’d always recommend alignment after any suspension work

Over stock does the set actually improve the mk5 other than perhaps the aesthetics of it being lower and perhaps better looking?
