Default Wich springs should I use?

I have bought new 18" for my car and want to lower it a bit now. The springs I have looked at is Swift sport match or Eibach prokit. Are they equal ? Or are there any other brand that have good springs? I want to keep the good handling on the cra and lowe like 1" .

I've been on Eibachs for a few years now. Stock tires used to have 1.5 finger gap in the back and 2.5 in the front.





...now I have .5 in the back and 1.5 in the front. No rubbing. My experience has been excelent with the Eibachs, and even better once I swapped out the stock struts for Koni Yellows. You may want to consider the Eibach Ground Control sleeves instead of just springs. With your bigger rims you may want the height adjustability of the GC sleeve that you wouldn't otherwise get with just doing springs.

I had eibachs for 2-3 years. I was happy with them. Not too low.

Tein S Tech also seem to be a popular choice for a ~1.5" drop...
