I've heard that the AP springs provide a 20mm drop also.

VWR Springs for me - love the look and ride (paired with Bilstein B8s) on mine.
OEM+ 2005 GTI DSG (high factory standard spec and upgraded with S3 alloy hubs, S3 alloy wishbones, Bilstein B8s and VWR springs by my own hands) owned since 2008 and still loving it!

 As others have said H&R the specs say 30mm but mine was closer to 25mm.
Rides like stock but good looking drop.
