Reading comprehension isn't my strong suit sometimes. ;)

But yeah, to go that low, you'll have to go to an adjustable coil over and probably a shorter strut insert like the 2002s do. On mine, I have adjustable coil overs with the Rabbit front inserts (standard stuff). On the rear, I bought a pair of Ireland's Stage II springs and cut half a coil. It's LOW...but the ride isn't too bad on a relatively smooth road.
