Here's a b4 & after of my 2.0T when I had Eibach's & 17" alloys fitted:

IIRC it's a 35 or 40mm drop. I really need to take new pics now that I've had the OEM spoiler fitted...

That's weird, works fine here - it's just a couple of imageshack thumbnails - is there anything to click on?

Here are the direct links:
