any GOOD lowering springs?

Hey guys, time has come to finally lower the ride. I definately can't afford the UAS kit, and i've been hearing problems about eibach springs. Are there any springs that are good and give a nice drop? Pics would really help also! Thanks guys!

I have the Pro-kit with the 1.6" drop. It has an aggressive stance and I haven't had any qualms with it. I will be changing the stock suspension to Eiback Pro Dampers to coordinate the suspension with the springs. I keep hearing the stock struts and shocks wear out fast with lowering springs.

Though alot more expensive than just lowering springs are the coil over springs like KW V1's or the KW V2's. These will protect the suspension more and provide better handling.

I had eibach prokit from day one. Love the look but front seems lower than rear. Ride is bouncy and bottom out when new. After 2k km all seems to get better. Salesman did told me they put more than just lowering springs in but was too excited to look at my new car and pay no attention to his words. He no longer works there so can't tell. I heard Euro and Aus get stiffer suspension to suit their taste so hopefully it is different to what US has and I won't wear out my stock shocks after a few months as others did in US.
