Just get some springs for starters? save some pennies...although i guarantee once you've dropped it you'll love it, i did mine last week and i'm well happy, not affected the comfort at all  :happy2:

Don't lower on cheap sh*t, h&r, bilstein I'd recommend. On one of my golfs have bc racing but I've hardly driven it to compare.
