Yeah ended up getting them with the tires and TPMS so I didn't have to source much of anything. Definitely needs to come down an inch or two.

Do you have airbags or coil springs in the back?
Are you looking to retain some comfort or not?

H&R if you don't mind it being quite a harsher ride. (what I have)
Eibach if you don't mind less drop, but more close to stock comfort, according to Eibach users.
KW3's and you will have best of both worlds, according to what others say. I have no experience with them, but kind of wish I had got them instead of the H&R VTF I currently run. I don't mind it, but my gf and friends think it is too harsh..

I have airbags and the M-Dynamic suspension, so active shocks, but not the active roll stability.

I was looking at the H&R VTF actually because it seems to drop more than the regular H&R kit.

Adjustable drop, but if you go too low, you might need to modify more than just the springs. Bump stops and links/ mounting plates etc. to be able to align correctly.

Just be ready for a much harsher ride on bad roads. On nice roads, they are great. But any ridges etc bad road repairs, will be felt much more.

I love mine, but passengers are not as appreciating of the ride..

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll just go with the Standard H&R kit then.

Standard H&R is pretty harsh too, from what I have read, so if that is an issue, go with Eibach over H&R.
Between standard and VTF H&R, I would go with the later, since you at least can adjust the drop to your liking.

I'm not worried about a harsh ride. I have a 1970 Kaiser M35A2 that I drive once and a while haha. You're probably right about gaining the adjustability too.
