Delayed response - sue me.

Ground Control is a fairly decent setup that fits without too many
modifications - the most involved being the removal of the front
spring perches and the welding of new mounts.  As for height
adjustment at events, be wary that VWs have a farily limited amount
of suspension travel even with coilovers - most of this being
dictated by the front control arms.  

When I first installed coilovers, my goal was the "in the weeds"
look.  The car sat super low but handled like shit at the track. 
This was b/c the control arms pivoted upwards since the suspension
was set so low.  As the suspension was gradually raised to the point
where the control arms were parallel to the ground, handling improved
dramatically.  

This having been said, I'm currently running 400 lb F/350 lb R
springs with Koni single adjustables.  BSI Racing in FL offers a
similar setup to Ground Control but apparently sells Konis that are
adjustable for both compression and rebound.
