i'd say the best springs would be eibach sportline they only drop it around 25mm but the ride & handling are perfect as i'm in the same boat with a little'un on board

imo, youll fit sportlines,
step back, and not be able to notice the difference!
they are good springs though, superior to most other when it comes to handling and ride comfort, they just dont give you very much drop at all!
Apex on the other hand give you a good drop and nice stance, but the ride quality suffers a lot!
there are other brands such as spax/apexi/koni/pi, but very few people have tried them all and can give any decent feedback! most of the CS sheep will tell you to get sportlines

I run sportlines too. so a +1 from me.
35mm at the front and 20ish at the back. A little bit more firm, and far more sure-footed.

sportlines when they were just fitted they have settled a bit now but just to give you an idea

front end looks spot on but the back end always looks so high with sportlines on...

This was mine on Sportlines. I always felt it was a little too high, and when I got Turinis it 'looked' even higher.
So then I went for some coilovers and now I think it's a good balance between ride height and being practical

Just KTEC ones, but they do the job for me
