Lowering spring and shocks, which ones to buy?

Hey guys! Hopefully gonna order some 40mm lowering spring next week, now I've seen alot of posts about them but I wondered what people's opinions are on different brands of coils? Or if anyone has found anything that'll do lower than 40mm?
Also what shocks to get? 😁

It’s less about making choices and more about what you can still get….

I did think that, just from a quick Google search there doesn't seem to be many options 😩

The usual pairing is bilstein B4 shocks with lesjofors springs
