Yes. I believe the GLI is 1.5" below normal stock. Unless your GLS has the sport suspension, then the GLI is only 0.5" lower. I'm assuming mkiv here too.

I'm assuming we're talking about MK4s. The GLI approximately 25-30mm lower than stock. Which comes out to about 1-1.1" lower than a standard Jetta.

This is for the 2005 GLI. When VW changed from the GLX model to the GLI's in 2002, they were nearly identical in height to each other.

Yeah--2002-2004 GLi has the standard sport suspension (similar to the garden-variety GTi), which is about 1/2" lower than a base Jetta.
2004.5-on GLi (MkIV) has a suspension similar to the 20th AE GTi and 337, which is about 1" lower than the base Jetta.
