Yes, the adaptive dampers will be fine with lowered springs.

Eibach would be better :)

Personally I would go for the 30mm / 25mm.

Make sure you get the correct springs as there are 2 types based on axle weight. If your car is a 2.0 TSI manual then I believe you want the ones for the lower axle weight, up to 1020kg, but double check.
