Did you notice a difference in handling when you put your springs on? Ta

I have 30mm Eibach springs on standard dampers. There is far less body roll and it feels more controllable. Bit more crashy over the bumps though.

I agree - the rides a lot harder with the Eibach full kit, but the lowered car makes handling a heck of a lot better.

I've just gone back to standard springs with 17s ready to sell the car but before it was lowered 40mm on Eibach with standard shocks. Ride was bumpier but it cornered much much better and steering response was sharper, i can't believe how boaty it is now.
I would suggest that you get a springs and shocks set because i had to replace my standard rear shocks after only 31000 miles because of the extra pressure on them with the lowering springs.

Nah they are fine they get a bit annoying when it is lowered cos you do have to go slower or you loosen your brain as the ride is a lot harder. fun takin corners at 40 though like a go cart

I am down 60mm on 15"s, pretty damn bumpy but when you throw it into a corner and it takes it like its glued to the road then you can cope with the bumps.

cheap full kit is better than set of expensive springs.
full kit makes huge difference!
