there are two sets of splines...
inner and outer...
one larger and one smaller in teeth

so You can go up two large splines and down 3 small splines..

this is an example only as I've never ever done the lowering Myself...

I have seen it written somewhere....

I'll check out some of My VW manuals...

cheers

one spline on the inner end makes 9 degrees change.
one spline on the outer end in opposite direction makes 8 deg.10' that means, you can work with the increments of 0 deg.50'... going up or down is given by rotational direction of inner end..

In a recent post there was a chart with spline/mm's of difference in height.
