my bro lowered his mk3 on 195/45/15! he had it down about 30-35mm i think with hardly any trouble, infact less trouble than when he was at standard height because the suspension had more play so to speak!

PhilJ, not sure if hes on here or not. get yourself over to ClubPolo and look in the Jackson tuning bit!
