Ok, I'm going back to the stock shocks for a softer ride, but I still want to drop the Jetta. From what I've managed to deduce, it seems like I'll be ok with the sport springs and stock shocks (I have a 1.8T, by the way). However, I'm curious if I could go with the race springs and still retain the stock shocks. Any advice is appreciated.

It is not even right to use H&R sports with stock shocks. Yeah, they will work...initially. But they will wear way faster than with the stock springs.

Soft sport maybe with stock shocks, not sport or race.

I second that. I have the same setup, even with my 18's it isn't too bad.

I have sports on my car with stock struts and shocks for about 20K miles.
I have no problems to speak of and the ride is much better than the stock springs. I have 18" wheels as well. With the Race springs you will need to replace your struts and rear shocks and the front sway bar for clearance reasons.
Hope this helps. . .
