If you are patient and have spare time you can cut your springs with 
a die grinder or regular grinder.  A hack saw may work but will take 
a lot of time and a few spare blades.  I have friends who did this 
and it works decent.  Not as good as lowering springs but much better 
than stock.  I can't remember how much they cut out but it was like 
1/2 to 3/4 coils in the rear and 1 in the front they were about equal 
to the ride hieght of lowering springs.  don't quote me on the # of 
coils though,  it has been awhile since I have done that.  The best 
bet is to start small then cut more.  You need a spring compressor to 
dissasemble but you can put them back together with out a compressor.

any more Q's on this ask away

What is the cheapest way to lower a scirocco.
My car has far too much body roll but I don't have much cash.
Is it possible to just fit lowering springs or are other changes also
necessary?
