if you want to lower the car 50mm, you might want to invest in some uprated shocks also because it will put a lot more strain on them. you dont really want to have to replace your shocks in 6 months time because they've fudged.

well they are german, so probably well made, but honestly i think it's best to stick to apex springs that way you know they're reliable and many people have used them
