As Ben and Liri have said, you wont have any problems lowering the car with 35mm lowered springs whatever the brand, Eibach's, King Springs, Pedders, Spax etc.

My WQ is lowered on Eibach's with absolutely no problem whatsoever, looks just how it should have come out of the factory standard imo.

Coilovers will cost you a lot more money than lowered springs but you do have the ability to adjust the height on each corner independently and they will adjust either higher or lower than just lowered springs which are of course a set ride height.

The more expensive Coilovers also give you the ability to change the damper settings, ie: how hard or soft the ride itself is.

Bear in mind though that even at the softest damper setting most coilovers are generally a harder ride than lowered springs ... coilovers are more for track use and high performance street cars.

Personally I think lowered springs on a WS is the best way to go.
