Stick to Eibach Sportline springs mate, thats what the majority of people go for on here and they drop the car nicely whilst offering decent ride quality. Eibach are a top make so you cant really go wrong dude

Looking good dude, the G60's are class can't go wrong with them.

Just needs lowering now mate as you mentioned, have you considered coilovers or do you deffo want to go for springs?
Eibach Sportlines will lower it nicely but if you want to take it to the next level then got for a set of coilovers.

You will loose some of the comfort but in my opinion its worth loosing for the better looks and improved handling
