Default What set of lowering springs?

I'm looking at a set of lowering springs for my car. I don't know which set is the best. I want to lower the car as far as possible
while still being able to install 17" wheels on my tibby. Which is the best as well as being the best for cornering etc? I've looked at Apex, B&G, and Eibach.

Any help?

I went with B&G 1.7 inch lowering springs and they fit perfect with my 17" rims. Have had them on for almost a year and no noise from them whatsoever. Great set of springs and the bets thing is the cost less than all the rest.

I really liked the H&R springs that are on my car right now. Back in 1997 I didn't have a choice of springs, those were the only ones around but no problems so far.

I think all the springs on the market for the Tib will fit with 17's depending on width and offset.
Also tire camber should be minimal.
All the brands are between 1.5 to 1.7 drop I think. So it will mostly come down to brand.

You can also wait a little longer and go with coil overs. This way you can adjust the hight if you want to but once you set it you will prolly never touch it again.

Personally I like Eibach
