   I don't think Koni or Eibach do that low.. since they're performance springs, and at 50mm you don't get performance! WOrd of warning thoug.. I ordered 50mm ones from Spax end of Dec, and they still ain't made them!!

   i'd go for EIBACH.
   
   ideally you wanna read up on the ride of each spring. you want the stiffest one as they will sag abit after time...
   
   also want a stiff spring so if you hit a pothole the arch dont bang into the wheel
