Are you on vortex? That's probably a much better place to find out how low you can get a rabbit. I'd guess you're looking at coilovers perhaps camber plates but I don't know which would be the lowest.

dude,
very simple:
Stock size tires and coilovers.
As low as you please!
Heres a cheap set on eBay that will be better than anything else even close to that money...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COILOVER-VW-RABBIT-CADDY-MK1-ADJUSTABLE-SUSPENSION_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem45ed5683f9QQitemZ300334613497QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
Just mind the oil pan, it is the dangling member of a vw...
Also camber plates will help you better dial in your suspension (camber specifically)
but do not affect ride height.
Everyone should have the pleasure of driving a slammed diesel dub!

Check the last 10 or more pages of this thread:

The first pages are old and all the pic links are broken.
