I don't think I've ever seen any 60mm lowering springs. But you might like to check out Eibach's Sportline springs, they will lower approx 50mm and still retain the ride comfort. Several owners have tried them out and I can't recall anyone saying anything bad about them!

Yup, I'm running 50mm Eibach Sportlines on dampers. Have been for about a year now.
Ride is a bit harsher, but I do also have 16" wheels with 195/40 profile tyres which essentially amplifies any road imperfections!

Try Jackson Tuning on Clubpolo. I bought my Coilovers off him, can't fault the service he provided.

For reference, Eibach sportlines use the same rear springs as those in the Pro-kit, so the rear only lowers around -30mm.

oh no
I was hoping to lower mine 60mm when I got the cash and coilovers are a bit expensive for my liking

Just to confirm the 60/40 kit can be lowered 60/60.
You can get shocks and springs for £130 (ish)
