i just spotted that the r32 is fitted with a spacer that not all mk4's are fitted with this spacer is fitted it's to raise the height of mk4's fitted with the vw Sport Suspension kit you could get for the mk4 after 2001 by removing the spacer you can lower the front by 10mm you can also raise at by 10mm by fitting a 20mm spacer 1J0412311A 10mm spacer as fitted to the r32 1J0412311 20mm spacer you make a bigger spacer or more than one for that 4x4 look the above spacers can be used on any mk4 and would think could on a mk3 as well the spacer i part 28 in this picture
