Looking for a 40mm drop.

Euro car parts is out of stock and not sure about buying on ebay.

And affordable good quality springs?

Most people would recommend Bilstein or H&R, stiffer/softer respectively. Not worth buying unrocognised ones from ebay even if they are cheap, you'll just end up having to buy a quality set in no time.

Just bought Bilstein b12 pro kit from bavarian auto. It gives a 40mm drop. Comes with eibach springs. 797 USD$. Not cheap but widely regarded as the best combo...
