I have a MK7 GTI with the adaptive suspension (DCC). There is a adaptation you can do to account for lowering springs. Basically you jackup the car so that all 4 wheels are off the ground. Then you run “adapt with deflecting wheels”. The suspension computer resets and will check the ride high when the vehicle is on the ground. Ride quality will be improved. The suspension almost feels like stock. I do think my DCC shocks are wore out though and will need to be replaced soon.

your already taking out the sturt to put the springs on so you might as well buy new or new better struts that will work good with the new springs. that’s how i see it at least

Who is going through all the work of replacing the springs and not replacing the shocks though? 🤷‍♂️

How come you are wearing your cap backwards? Is it for “Redneck” protection?
