Just seen this kit on the DPM Performance website:

Has anyone used this kit? The H&R springs give the drop I am after but am particularly interested to get feedback on ride comfort. I don't want to be shaking my fillings out.

Maybe that's a sign I need new shocks, anything but comfy.

Me?

 

1.6 TDI Monte Carlo Estate

So a different spring poundage from a 1.2 TSI hatch then.

Maybe so, but the OP doesn't mention TDI or TSI, I just went by the link.

 

I find mine comfy, hopefully TSI owners can comment on the kit or just the springs on standard shocks

My car is a 1.2 TSI petrol.

 

Thanks for the comments so far.

Kgod1991, i was not thinking of tweensters since his is also an estate and with the TSI & DSG the rear springs and dampers will be as your TDI if lowered, but the Monte Carlo came with different springs OEM, 

it was Filipelol and his TSI hatch i was thinking of.  The hatches do not sit as high at the rear as standard.
