Default what lowering springs

hi all, i am very confused what springs to use on my escossie , because some does not lower the car enough and the handle well ( like the a. bayoo springs ) and the others lower the more and the handling is not very good, so what springs do you recomend me to use ?

See your other thread in here titled "Shocks & Springs" for a picture of mine with that kit on.

The thing is, you want to do it right and once, not wrong and several times....

I've got Bilstein schocks and Eibach springs and I find the combination very good.
Have never tried Ahmed springs though so can't comment on those.

The black Escos is totally standard suspension.
