I've heard that the AP springs provide a 20mm drop also.

VWR Springs for me - love the look and ride (paired with Bilstein B8s) on mine.

Vwr (pretty sure they are Eibach) get my vote and lower it by approx 25mm

 As others have said H&R the specs say 30mm but mine was closer to 25mm.
Rides like stock but good looking drop.
