newbie with a 147 lowering question

hi guys, thought i'd introduce myself with what is probably a common question!

my bella is a 3 door black 147 1.6TS Lusso with a cream leather interior

i recently upgraded (well matter of opinion considering what i've read on some of the threads) my alloys from 17" Super Sports to 17" Wolfrace Kyoto Blacks which i'm actually quite pleased with!

my only issue now is there's far too much space between the arches for my liking and i'd like to lower the car but i can't afford to go the whole 9 yards at the moment.

SO just wondering which spring set would be the best as i've seen a few around e.g. Apex, PI, Eibach and Vogtland to name but a few.

any help would be appreciated!

Probably these 2: H&R or Eibach. But consider to have the dumper done too or you'll notice the original wont cup very well with time...

Welcome on board.
