Those are the one I have fitted. They drop 30mm and are suited to the GTI and GT Sports as they are 20mm lower than a standard Golf. I think you may want the 50mm ones which would give you the smae drop overall. I'd wait for someone to confirm this though.
You will also get them a little cheaper from members on here too. Mine were supplied and fitted by vRSAlex. GNJ Motorsport and W8 Performance can all supply them for a little less than quoted on that site.

Avoid progressive springs, particularly if you want to stay with stock dampers.
Eibach Pro, Volkswagen Racing UK and Volkswagen Zubehör (Driver Gear) springs
are the only ones that work sufficiently with stock dampers and keep near stock
ride comfort.
Even these work better with uprated dampers. Keep in mind TDI dampers aren't
as stiff as GTI dampers.
