Can eibach pro springs be fitted to the standard suspension and if so what are the benefits?
will these springs lower the suspension?

Yes you can safely use those springs with your stock shocks though the life of your shocks may be reduced.
On a GTi those springs will drop your suspension by around 20-25mm.

As for benefits, the car should corner better and you'll get reduced nose dive when braking hard. The ride should be a little harder than stock.
Without traction power is nothing!
