Depends what car it was to start with as the GTI's  & VR6's were fitted with Plus suspension which was 20mm lower than the base model Golfs.

cheers for that but not what im after. i have already lowered mine and happy with the height, but i just wanted some measurements of the height of a standard mk3 gti so i can measure mine and see the difference to inform my insurance company as they asked me how much i had lowered the car when i declared the mod..

Ask them if they want the amount in Miles or Kilometers...

If its on coilovers then tell them 40mm. I think mine is about 60-70mm, but never found out the standard height, its just what people have said! As its adjustable suspension it wont make any odds if its more than 40 kilometers...
