• 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...

  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!
