Adjusting the headlights on the GTI is a complicated procedure. Basically, they are self levelling, so if you dont put them in learning mode before you adjust them, they will just go back to the exact same position they were before. You need vag com to do this, so its best taken to a garage that has a headlight levelling machine and access to vag-com too.

As for a 60/40 kit it would look fine as the rear shocks are in fact shorter than the front - thats why its 60/40 as the rear doesnt need to be so low to be level with the front.

If you have a nice VW dealer, its normally free, but it can be up to £30. Really depends who you know!
