   I think it depends on how low at the front you go. I had my GTi done at 40mm, but I noticed steering 'felt' stiffer.
   Got the PAS checked and was told it was fine! So just get it checked once its been done.
   
   How low are you thinking?

   Nah you should be fine with 40mm... They say you're to have it moved/re-located if going down anymore but I'm down 60mm and didn't have to touch it. I just had it checked out to make sure it wasn't going to interfere.

    You don't know "if" it will mate... Just have it lowered and then see if there's any contact.
