just lowered my mk 5 1.4 2day!im on 17s n dropped it 35mm, n i think its still 2 high.iv just gone springs, the standard shocks are gas so they can handle a bit more (so iv bin told). iv gone with apex springs n there soft as s**t so dnt bother with them! apparently spax r pretty stiff from what i hear. i think u can get away with 40-50mm, but if u want 2 go lower id upgrade shocks 2. oh n my arches arn't rolled n theres no scrubbing.
heres how mines turned out

to get the best look get coilivers they will be able to drop on the 17's with minimum rubbin unless you quite low.

We do a few kits and i'm sure we'd be able to sort you something out for your price range!

The Fk budget ones have been known to seize up according to a few people on this forum. Basically if you do get them, sort the ride height out before you leave them. Also they are prone to rust
