I've never tried DCC.
I've had quite a few cars with uprated suspension over the years and in my opinion it's the springs that make the biggest difference to the actual ride quality. You can have fairly stiff dampers and mellow springs and the car will ride well on UK roads. But mellow dampers and stiff springs (like the Clubsport) makes the car a bit choppy on certain roads.
The standard GTI non DCC suspension is quite compliant but the springs will still cause an occasional crash over sharp irregularities.
I ran 18s and 19s on my PP GTI and although there was a difference in ride it wasn't huge. On the R it made no difference and on the Clubsport the 19's are pretty harsh!
The standard GTI rides just fine. Just make sure you drive around potholes and manhole covers as much as possible as 19" wheels will bend quite easily. They'll bend whether you have DCC or not!
