I'll try and weigh in but I can't speak much to what will best meet your specific needs.

I got my lowering springs and bilsteins through Chris Horn (Agent Strangelove). Installed, my car is a couple inches lower (my front bumper is now just 10 1/4" inches off the pavement) and that's plenty low for me. I don't know what brand these are, but they are thicker and much shorter than any stock spring I've ever seen. They are not the oddly coiled types you often see for sale, nor are they simply shortened stock springs.

Aside from individuals like Chris Horn and Jim Morris, try Skandix and IPD for springs. I've found buying from Skandix to a very good experience and Matthias will address any concerns you might have. Skandix has at least two different sets listed.

IPD is (of course) always a good source, but you might get a better deal or more options by going with Skandix.
