I had eibachs and found them still too high if im honest, so I would suggest H&R -50mm if your after a proper low look without going for coilovers.

I would go with the eibachs, they may only be 10mm lower but they do help quite a bit

Going too low will leave your rear diff on speed bumps

Ive had some Eibachs fitted to the RA and its lowered it by about 40mm

Looks great and handles better but ive got to take it easy over speed bumps if I have passengers.

I had a 4 wheel lazer alignment check done by my local 'Chemix' branch and everything was straight as a dye
