The mk6 sits fairly low anyway, the new R will probably sit slightly lower again though so a set of springs for one of these would be ideal for a GTI (but not GTD)
For info, I've no idea why people think keeping standard shocks will stop lower springs stiffening the ride. It's more the other way round. Lower springs will be stiffer, end of. I've been changing suspensions on various VWs and SEATs over the last 20 odd years and ALL lowering springs make the ride stiffer. Some are much, much worse than others admittedly.
When you're young and vain then you will suffer the ride quality, when you get past your late 30s you won't want to!
