Sounds like you have the wrong front springs fitted.

What engine is you car, if it is a GTI then diesel springs will be no good due to engine weight.

Well there's your problem, wrong spring rate. Diesel engines are quite a bit heavier than 1.6 petrol ones.

Either source the correct springs or at least stick some lowering spring caps on the front. If you're lucky you might get another 10mm drop. I wouldn't put the standard rear springs back on though as it'll look like a hot rod and handle sh!t.
