For that, you're probably looking at around 2" give or take.

Do you want springs or coilovers?

just springs because my friend bryce has a 92 talon tsi that he is rebuilding and he told me that coilovers are only for track racing! and plus the springs are cheaper

i have been tryin to find where the three bolts are and cant seem to find them! and i dont kno how exactly to take off my rear dash!

If i can remember correctly i think you have to pull the rear seats forward and the bolts are somewhere behind the seats. Sorry i havent changed my suspension in so long so that might not be correct.

ok when you pull forward your rear seats you will realize that the 2 corner peices that havent come foward are still ther... you have to remove those to get at the 3 bolts to remove your rear struts you will have to remove rear door trimming to get at the bolt at the bottom that lossens those peices to get at those 3 bolts
