Default Espelir or Eibach springs?

I am looking to get some springs for my car, which would you recommend if I am going with 17" rims? I don't want there to be a big gap still and the Eibach is only a 1" drop whereas the Espelir is a 1.3". Anyone had these on your car and can help me out? Thanks.

I went with eibach's originally but BIG gap. So, I swapped them out and put in espelirs. Perfect drop for 17's. The pic of what it looks like is in my sig.

I've really not bottom out. The only thing I worry about is my front lip when driving.

I have eibachs, which is fine but an extra .3 never hurt no one....

but i do like the ride of the eibachs and never having to worry TO much about scraping and going up driveways on angles
