Spax 50mm springs are pretty good for looks but expect a fairly bumpy ride.
If you don't want it as low as 50mm why not just get a set of Eibach 35mm springs and leave the standard shocks on?

Can it not cause problems leaving the old shocks on then? How low can you go before it's just impractical? i have alot of speedbumps near me
35mm should be ok on standard shocks. some people leave them some people change them.
50mm and you may have trouble with speed bumps
EDIT: have you read the lowering sticky?
