I did indeed.
Eibach 30mm springs which did give about 30mm drop, the main issue with it was the estates sit higher at the front than even hatch Meridians so 30mm drop isn't massively noticeable by eye.
However I still scraped the splitter coming off the drive so the height was fine for me, just a shame the wing arch wasn't a bit lower for the aesthetics.
Running '6 springs will be fine, but assuming they're old anyway, they are probably already sagging so won't raise the height...
