I wouldn't run lowering springs with standard shocks, I did briefly but took them off because the ride was shocking.

Yes but fitting just lowering springs will end costing you more in the long run as they shocks will fail and you will have to do the same job twice.

My mate put his golf coils on his tdi bora so go for it there is no difference in fitment and only took 2hours to do it's far easier and if you get the top mounts too no scary spring compressors needed
