^ yep what he said. But most of us will tell you to go coilovers, the more you spend the better stuff you get, but that being said theres some cheaper coils that will do the job if you just want to get low. Look at some peoples build threads and see what they did for an idea of whats involved. Check out the mk3 picture thread at vwvortex forums for some inspiration as well! Congrats on buying a vw!
thanks guys, well i had a look and i saw a few people using these coilovers Coilover Kit for VW Golf MK2 MK3 Jetta Passat B3 B4 but are they any good, as for budget not that tight but still dont want to go over the top..
If you guys have any other sites or anything much appreciated!!

try them or hit up some of the guys from these forums that Import and sell the stuff. I went with Nuspeed coilovers and while I was at it put in Neuspeed Sway Bars and Anti-roll Bars. My beast drives like its on rails! Feel it in the kidneys though lol. So the question is How Low Can You Go? Lower the better! And throw in some stance while your at it!

thanks guys, well i don't want to go to low due to that fact my area is cop hot and i get enough heat just for being a P plater, id like to go low but im just not sure how low to go, any takings on how low i should go??
I know in QLD minimal Legal Height (pffft) is the height of a 375ml Coke Can. I was a little lower than that but still rides nice. You will find after a while you will need to adjust the coil overs my car has somehow risen in height which I am needing to fix. Might go tackle that not actually. Just go with what looks good and what you want.
