That drop looks really good JSe420 but it's a bit too high in the front. Change the spring pads on the front or rear to even it out.
Here's my drop with Intrax and 1-bump pads

Neuspeed springs will drop your car 2-3 inches. Go to neuspeed.com, on their website it will say honda-acura vw-audi, click on vw-audi. Neuspeed makes springs, exhaust maybe even headers for our car. Just give them a call. Currently I have Lorinser springs on my car with a 2 inch drop.

I dont want to thread jack or anything...But i was meaning to ask somebody with a little more knowledge on that...I plan on putting new pads in the rear but im not sure what # to get. Do you know how the #'s go?

The number pads your car came with can differ on all four wheels. They load up the car with all its options and then finely adjust the level of ride height through the pads. It's gonna be hard to tell what pads you have without jacking the car way up. Check what you're running and then order the necessary pad...they go from 1 bump - the lowest, to 4 bump - the highest.

lots of cars
Buy a spring compressor, Put 1 bump on the front and 3 on the rear. Remember you want the rear to be a little higher because you don't wanna bottom out the shocks when you have people in the back seat.

I have the lowest drop available around 2.75" and I don't have a camber kit....haven't for the 8 years I've owned the car. The only thing that really happens sans camber kit is uneven wear of the rear tires.
