60mm is way too low to go on springs alone. The ride will be rock hard, you'll bounce all over the place and your dampers will be fecked in no time.

Also at -60mm, you'll be getting close to driveshaft - anti roll bar rubbing issues.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

past that ide say.

but +1 on not using springs, my mate put springs on standard shocks on his car a few years ago and they were around -60, the ride was horrific and the shocks lasted a few months then he went out and bought coilovers. if you are going to go on springs buy shocks too.

decent brands

wietec
bilstein
eibach
just to name a few
