it's not as bad as some people make out. I did it on the rear of my mkiv - just half a turn, nothing more. a shorter length of spring actually makes them stiffer and I found only this much dropped it a good 15mm. I also had no problems whatsoever with the handling, if anything it improved.

the rubber helper is only really for damping rather than location. personally I wouldn't remove it though (I haven't on my KW's and it said I should do)

yep, you'd have to replace it with thinner rubber or similar....
