Default REALLY?! I had the ProKit springs on my 2000...
...1.8T and they were a little too soft for the low ride height. The H&Rs were firmer and just marginally higher.

Why not just get a set of Neuspeed Bilstein shocks w/adjustable perches and play with the height a little by adjusting the perches?

H&R sports are similar in stiffness to the stock sport package springs

Default I have a set of the Intrax sports that drop down 1.75"
They were used for a short time before I put on a set of Intrax S4 springs on my 1.8. They are for sale for $100 plus shipping
