how low is this car?

[gibby]

more importantly how old is your sister?

lol

Back on the topic, I'd say 40mm, looks slightly more because the pic is not taken square on I reckon. Mine lowering springs are red and they are Ventura.

i was gonna say 60mm, but not sure, summat around there, measure how far it is from the sill to the floor and i'll measure mine then u can tell exactly

[tobz.]

The measurement you need make is from the centre of the wheelarch to the centre of your wheel hub, this gives a more accurate as it isn't affected by tyre profiles/pressures or anything. I would say the drop is about 40mm, is it an 8 or 16v though as they start off with a 10mm difference in ride height.

It would be a right b!tch trying to measure from the centre of the wheel arch wouldn't it? it would be a bit of guess lining the tape measure up.

Looking at the inlet manifold in the pic, it most be a 16v? (I'm no expert on golf's, but that doesn't look like my 8v!).

i'd say 40mm drop, but the real answer to the question is NOT LOW ENOUGH!!!!

not really, you just get a decent ruler/tape and measure directly up from the centre cap. you'll only be off by a tiny amount this way and it is the only definate way of measuring the drop like tobz said.
