most of them are expensive coilover options though.
i know that tein/tien (?) offer lowering springs that are good, about 2-3 grand IIRC!
not sure if eibach do?

I have the tein on my car but when I was looking I enquired about eibach and they wanted a dep of R5000-00
not nice hey.
I am very happy with my Tein items.
I also aquired the strut braces front and rear. they work nicely too.

you should go as low as you feel comfortable with.
or you could be doff and go as low as i did, and then start searching for solutions to other suspension problems. like bump steer!!!

As to the ride it is awsome stiffer than stock but you dont need a kidney belt. and I had a Koenic kit before that real cheep and all to nasty!
