Do you want to change the shocks as well? or just lower it with lowering springs?
For springs H&R or Eibach are one of the better springs to get if you are just looking at springs. Neuspeed have a set with Koni FSD shocks.
I went for HPA KW SHS coilovers (available for Jettas also) which tend to keep the comfort of the stock setup allowing you to lower the car with a bit of extra performance.
Have a look at this thread, has different types of suspension, a good starting point. Not sure whether they will match the Jetta though.

Hmmm the shortest they will go is 30mm, that is annoying.
Might have to invest in some oem GTI springs or similar.Comment

I've lowered my car on Eibachs I believe and the drop was 30mm. Looks great and I get no scrubbin at all

Is the 30mm quoted based on the US or Aus/Eurocar height?
With American cars looking like 4x4 in stock form it wouldn't surprise me.
I'd expect the drop to be less than 30 if you're buying a kit that was intended for the US market (isn't eibach American?)
my pirelli is down 22mm from it's stock height and will occasionally rub.Comment
