Default V50 FWD rear lowering springs wanted

Looking for rear lowering springs. Installed Eibach pro-kit, but I'm not very happy with how it looks like..



Has anyone something to offer me? It would be perfect if anyone could offer me just the rear springs, and, of course, lower than these eibach ones.

Sorry I cant help just interested because I was going to do the same. Did it drop by much front and back. I know they are listed as 25mm drop but the back always looks higher on the V50 anyway. I was gonna change for bilstein b4 shocks when I was doing the springs.

Cheers
Steve

Here's a pic for comparison how it looked with the stock springs:



The drop in the front is quite nice - not significant, but it is enough for me. The back has not changed much though :/ I knew that the back is always a bit higher with eibach pro-kit, but was not ready that the difference between front and back would be so big. So if you want an even drop, go for other manufacturers.

Yeah im only after subtle drop so ill have to see where I go from here. From research the eibachs seem to keep the most comfort so its a bit of a trade off think im going to upgrade the rear anti roll bar before lowering.
