Most people go for h&r as they give a substantial drop. I went for the Eibach as it's more of a subtle drop around 20mm

Looking at Vmaxx at the moment as they do 40mm as H&R are 35mm

Definitely the lower of the springs I think. Strange though how it lists the same springs for all the different engines
