30mm Lowering springs...good or bad?

[matth76 0]

I own a Golf VR6. I am thinking of lowering my car but not spending a lot of money on coilovers as I'm on a budget. I am thinking of a decent quality set of 30mm lowering springs. Will 30mm lowering springs make the ride much worse or improve the handling? Also will it look noticably lower with just 30mm? I was thinking about Eibach, Koni or H&R or a similar good quality make. Please can anyone recommend any other good makes (or makes to avoid!!) and how has your car been since adding the lowering springs?

on my mk3 vr it had 35mm h&r's with standard shocks and it looked subtle but it handled reasonably well, i can't compare it to oe set-up as it was already on there when i bought it, but it looked better than the oe ride height thats for sure.
