As VW are marketing the GTD as a Diesel GTI (On road performance is going to be very similar) it's fair to ask it in here. Trouble is the GTD is very new and I doubt there are many people who have taken delivery of one yet. Some dealers have sold their demos but most buyers are probably still waiting for their order to come through just like the GTI.
The suspension isn't completely different to the GTI, far from it. It will very likely have the same rear springs and different fronts to counter the added weight of the TDI engine. I would guess that some of the German suppliers will have GTD specific springs available very soon. Try contacting Eibach in Germany directly to see how far they are from production. They will probably tell you something very similar to what mac7 posted above but may be awaiting TUV approval for that particular model.
