Which Ones and Why? Eibach 35mm Springs or H&R 50mm/60mm Extreme Low Springs

Slowly getting everything together to get car looking the way i want it, but want to make sure it's all done correctly without spending silly money i don't have.
Now considering my suspension, not going to go for a cheap set of coilovers and regret it. So going for decent quality springs.
I do want the car to nice and low and look aggresive as possible.
Which ones and why?

Eibach Pro Kit
F-35mm R-25mm
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...duct=555574897

H&R Springs (Extreme Low Version)
F-50mm R-25mm
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...roduct=3877702

They also do these-
H&R Springs (Extreme Low Version)
F-60mm R-40mm
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...roduct=3877830
(maybe a step too far)

I'm thinking of the H&R 50mm/25mm

Eibach Sportline dropped mine by 10 mm at the front and 25 mm at the back on stock Msport suspension, ride quality is fine.

Never heard of those descriptions, and no such thing on the H&R site..

You want "H&R Sports" springs...

No idea QLD if there even legit H&R Springs then, Just found that website the other night and thought they migt be ideal for my massive front arch gap that really annoys me.

Can u post some pics from side on to show your drop on the H&R's.

Don't want just a 10mm drop, especially at the front, i have about 60mm/70mm gap from tyre to arch. Rear isn't so bad, gap only about 40mm so a 20mm/30mm drop would be ok.

Eibach pro is pretty damn low IMO.

I have the Birds B3.5 kit, and that is only -25mm at the front. It catches on all the speedbumps and car park ramps even at that small drop.

-60mm would be bonkers....
