I would switch to Eibach springs, will be a lot better than the cheap ones you have now.

i had them on mine .......front will sit a lttle lower than rear
i ended up removing one coil from rears to get perfect flat ride height

nice ride tho  not harsh and they black so look oem

(the fronts will come with coil protectors on - up to you if you leave them on)

These protectors they come with, are they like a rubber sleave that slides over the coil to prevent noise? I've heard the one downside to fitting Eibachs is that you get a metallic thud at low speed when hitting pot holes. Was wondering if that's what the protectors are for?
Thanks again

Well my new Eibachs are here :) But shes not going anywhere till I do some more serious work on the brake callipers, soo rusty :(
If anyone's feeling really kind could they point to me a mk2 golf specific guide to fitting springs? Or tell me to stop being lazy and figure it out from the haynes manual.
I'm just fitting the springs btw, think/hope my bilsteins shocks are still good. But I think I might need new top mounts (is that what they're called?) on the rear.
