Hmmm, interesting. I've always run a million miles from Pedders, just never really trusted them. Maybe I'm a snob...

If you don't want to spend much and/or go down the coilover route, Costa might still have this setup for sale. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=25396
I'm running the exact same setup combined with the beefier H&R swaybars as well. Makes quite a big difference and would imagine it would be even more with the Bora as it's got a much cushier ride stock than what a stock R has.
Dunno how low you want to go but you can see from the photo that mines dropped quite a bit.
Cheers,

I considered them when Costa put them up for sale, but decided I'd prefer new shocks. They've sold now regardless (on eBay, $420!).

Yeah just followed the link and saw that. Also realised the shocks are different as well. Was about to edit my post but you beat me to it. Oh well.
I suppose the nice thing about coilovers is that you can adjust the height. My car is even more of a scraper now and I have to really really watch the nose. The Bora probably won't have as much of a problem there with a similar drop due to the nose not being as bad stock.
