Lowering Springs for Cooper S

Hello people,

I been looking into lowered springs for my MCS, went to a local aftermarket dealer to ask what was available, the list i got was: -
Eibach -15mm only? but a spring just for the 'S'
Apex - upto -35mm but springs suitable for all models!
H&R - upto -30mm again 1 set for all!

So i'm a little unsure i'd originally ordered the Eibach's but if only -15mm i might struggle to see a difference.

On the Eibach website it says F=-25mm R=-35mm for the Cooper springs but not listed for the 'S', i thought a MC with sports plus susp. was the same height as the MCS?

But looking at the car the back (arch gap)is about 20mm lower than the front so i don't understand why they offer springs that lower more at the back?

So if anyone's fitted Eibach springs to a MCS (i know Bonnie Scotland has!) any advice on how much they lower front and back would be much appreciated.
Is it noticeable difference??

p.s - fitting 18's next by the way.

thanks

Chris
