R32 springs will be no good as they are designed to work with a heavier engine.

Eibach Pro Springs; -30mm.  Job done and cheaper than buying Anni springs which IIRC are the same thing anyway

As mentioned, Eibach Pro springs are a very good option for a subtle drop.

is the 2.0 8v suspension the same as the 1.8t?  seeing as the 1.8t is a(proper) gti and the 2.0 isnt i wouldnt of thought it is.
