Get the eibach springs.

I've got them on my gti and the ride quality is better than standard. I do have the sport button and it's fine.

I got mine from autodoc.co.uk seemed to be the cheapest around for them

Page 14 in the brochure at the link below under ‘Wheels and Suspension’ states ‘Sports suspension, lowered by approx 15mm’

Changing only the springs is always not a good idea because your Shock Absorbers are not set up for other springs like eibach or h&r. Thats even more important when u drive a car with a high amount of horse power like the GTI. The Whole car will not performe well.

until KW come up with a set of coilovers that work with the sport button that's how it's staying lol

imho these springs are less harsh than the oem springs and everyone i've spoke to about these springs have highly rated them
