30mm springs

I know the 40mm eibach springs are supposed to be the best but 40mm seems a bit much for me, 
Anyone heard of these springs

Quite common brand and reasonably popular, do coil overs and electronically adjustable dampers etc etc , German origins I believe so probably good quality too.

TBH I think anything over 10mm is just too much for the J.

It doesn't matter what the wheel size is, the diameter should be the same, obviously though the larger the the tyre the wider it is generally. Personally I don't think the 30mm or 40mm is too much, you would have to take into account speed bumps, pot holes etc when driving.

I would stick to Eibachs for lowering on the J though because it's quite a hefty hatchback, that and it is tried and tested, but I don't think they do a 30mm drop for the 5dr. Saying that though, I have read on nemerous forums where different make springs have been used and can't remember reading any complaints or horror stories, and people aren't usually backwards when it comes to slating product ont tinterweb.

Looking for a set of lowering springs myself always have fitted Eibachs to my other Vauxhalls in the past (but only the 30mm lower) Just wondering what choice of springs did you eventually go for & if so what size of drop?
