adjustibles adjust the shockers not height, unless you have coilovers which adjust both. if i was you id go for 50 then. eibach springs are the best id say ,about 90 ish quick. or if your getting a kit, apex do a 50 kit.
or just get the springs now and uprate shocks at later date

Personally i think eibach springs are the best (tuv approved), so i'd go for a set of eibach sportline springs. You could try some Koni's which are also very good.

The eibachs are definitly a superior spring to a lot of cheaper alternatives. Theres two options, The Pro-kit and the Sportline. You will want to sportline as these lower by 50mm. I dont think we've ever had an unhappy customer with them!
