You could go with Shrine springs. They come as stiff as you want them and
at $65 each a real bargain. (Don't quote me on that, I forget what the
web page says for sure. Its something like $65 each for the front and $55
each for the rear spring.) 
Then you can get a set of lowering spring seat hats from Velocity. Maybe
the Potterman sells them too, I dunno. That ought to give you that
slammed look your after.

My Scirocco sits 23" in the front. (Measured from the ground to the
highest part of the wheel arch) and 23 1/4" in the rear. I've got about 1
1/2" clearance from the tire to the fender. It could go lower but my
lower control arms are level as it sits and since my car is more function
over form, that's as low as its gonna go for now.

Well, do yourself a favor and take some before and after pics so you can
really see the difference. The difference of 1/2" is amazing.
