I know the Subaru Outback has a spaced down rear subframe and different front suspension pickup points vs the Liberty. Does the normal Golf and Alltrack also have changes to geometry or is it just a matter of swapping in some good aftermarket spring/shock sets to suit normal Golf height then it's effectively exactly the same as the low models?

Thanks in advance!
Skoda does their Superb Outdoor and Octavia Scout lift using a combination of larger diameter tyres (+10mm) and raised springs (+10mm). I'd be thinking VW use a similar method.
