Without going lower you could try new stiffer anti roll bars or replace the original suspension with original stuff but that would probably cost as much as some uprated stuff that are about 30-40mm lower.

good choice of car mate  :wink:

i think VW offered a sports suspension package which lowers the car 15mm but I've no idea how good / bad this is as I've not got it fitted to mine.

with regards to other manufacturers of springs etc I'm not too sure  :sad:

Got Sports suspension on mine, makes a hell of a difference on cornering, as well as improving the look  :wink:

Got to admit they don't have the best handling in the world, but its adequate and at least you get some ride comfort.
