   Hi,
   
   Can anyone recommend which lowering springs to go for that will keep the ride comfortable? heard Eibach sportline are the ones to go for but the current one's I can find lower the car by 45/50mm which is too low as I live in a speed bump area and I dont want any bottoming out, I'm looking at 30mm drop front & back.
   
   Hope someone can help.

   Eibach Pro-kit are designed to give a ride similar to standard but 30mm lower

   45-50 isnt that low, you shouldnt really bottom out.

    Ive got a 45mm drop at the front and a 60mm at the back. Providing you dont fly over speed humps you wont bottom out. I dont have to slow down to crawling speeds either.
