Either H&R or Eibach springs will do what you want and give a 25mm - 40mm drop.

A quick search will come up with the part numbers you require for your model based on kerb weight.

No, you won't need to change the shocks, assuming they are in good condition.

What does the engine and box have to do with springs? All sciroccos will use the same control arms, top mounts etc and I'd bet almost anything a 2.0 tdi and TSI would use the very same suspension.

Different axle weights / kerb weights meaning different spring rates. There are 2 spring fitments for the Scirocco based on whether the weight is less than or greater than 1050kg.
