    GTsuspensions stock them as well I think but when I checked their range, they didn't seem to have the Golf listed. They're quite popular with Jap cars though, maybe in due time they'll have stuff for the Golf.

    Shteifen, as golfer said all australian come out standard with a duck bill, perosonally love the look of euro lip. Nevertheless, there are plenty of after market lips avaliable, most probably serves no real function, only given your car a pseudo lowered effect, but it works well, enhancing the cosmetic effectively.

    Re-enforcing others comments on "lowness" of car, it's one of those trades offs for looks and performance you will get use to it after a while. It is a different driving style and experience, surely you will not regret.

    duck bill, stock height and a red faced embarrassment


    euro lip and lowered.


    My point is when you do have the funds to cup kit/coilove your car JUST DO IT.

    I'm guessing it's a 70mm drop as it sure looks lower than a 60mm drop! And yep, it's just the duckbill at the moment. Don't mind how it looks at the moment



    As for such an aggressive lowering, it's purely for looks Sure it reduces roll, but handling-wise it doesn't do any good! Some discussion here.

    This is the height right now:
    Drop it like its hot

    The US had a thinner NA (north american) lip which looks pretty good. There are ofcourse other non-oem ones but i think they all look rubbish. Here a pic:
