Try genuine  or raise it. They seem the only viable options to me. It may look good that low on such big wheels when its parked but sat at the side of the road again broken down is not the look for this summer (well, actually it seems to be for me but that another story)! It will be more fun once its sorted even if its a bit higher.
Maybe a genuine one will work though.

Hello all, i am doing a r32 brake upgrade and have had to buy bigger hubs so the carriers will bolt straight on. This now causes issues with the DRIVESHAFT.... i was wondering if anyone knew whether the spline size is the same across all of the mk4 range? The width and the length of the actual driveshaft are different across the range, by the sounds of it, but will the spline sizes be the same size to fit in the hubs/bearing. I dont want to take my car apart to find they are different sizes and then the driveshaft would be sloppy and sheer the splines.
Hope this makes sense....
Any help would be appreciated!
