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 ?

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.
