Easiest thing to do with the front is buy some adjustable struts, that way you can tweak with the height till you're happy like so.

Rear is just a matter or re-indexing the torsion bar splines.
Any VW shop will have the bushings.

It's important first to figure out what your doing wheel combo wise as some will rub alot on a lowered car.
