Doesn't look lower to me mate, maybe the dark coloured wheels just gib the illusion? Can't you see the springs? Should be able to see if they're VW or not

Have a look at the springs. If they are black and have 3 coloured dots on them, then they are OEM. Aftermarket ones are usually red or blue.

Mk4 suspension was much softer than the Mk5. And that does look 20-30mm lower than standard to me.
Measure from floor to top of arch, aligning the tape/ruler with the centre of the wheel.

I would say that's standard, it's about the same as mine which is standard.
