Cleanspeed1 - I am heading to St Louis (to be with our FIRST Robotics team for the FIRST Championships), coming from the Central CA area (Sacramento). Car is not lowered, and since I already scrape the skid plate, I don't think I want to lower it!
Indeed, those VW cars were sold here and quite soon they started offering bad road package, which rises car 20mm or bit more, as our roads those were constantly scraping the ground, good for level smooth roads, but as our roads are rather the opposite (with exception of main roads) going very low is not quite a possibility.

It was perhaps one of the lowest from all those typical cars that were sold at the time, one could think that it was factory lowered
