i think if your gonna go any lower than 50mm (whether u can find just the springs) its worthy of upgrading the shocks, because the standard shocks will not be sufficient with a -60mm drop, thats where coil-over suspension comes in :), though it may be abit pricey for u?

Yeah was worried that the drop would affect the dampers/shocks but was told the dampers on the GTi are pretty hardcore and would manage with the 50mm...any lower and I wouldn't like to hazard a guess...
