yes they will fit but I feel you'll be disppoineted with the look as 20mm is hardly anything and when suspension wears (as your's will of done by now) they sag and make the car lower... I recon you'll go down by 10mm max!!

By suspension you mean the one that's on my car right? If so my car has done 94K...hmm, I want the car lowered but for not alot of money, and I don't want it much lower than a standard GTI to avoid the insurance bastards.

What about these? They lower the car by 35mm.

yeah your current suspension is likely to be little worn and lower than standard.... I would fit gas shockers and some -20mm gti springs, that will lower your car 35-40mm
and that kit looks well priced but when they say 35mm is that from gti height or normal...could be worth an email
