If you only want to fit springs then H&R springs lower the most, pretty sure all other springs only lower 20-25mm

Eibach or H & R are probably your choices. Eibach Pro kit "softer"' Eibach Sportlines "harder"'. Never used H & R springs but heard good things (more expensive). If you want an exact drop it's adjustable coilovers but if not you pays yours money!

I've got them on mine and the ride quality is fine, just right for the GTI IMO.  :happy2:

H&R's 29176-1 lowered 45mm  :happy2:

(another 10mm lower would be perfection IMO)
