H&R vs Eibach vs Apex
I've heard H&R and Eibach they're pretty much the same (drop and quality) and Apex is softer. Which one has the most drop ? And which one would you recommend ? I'm not thinking for track the car ... normal driving ... target euro look drop. Please post some pics if you have them

You want low? Eibach Pro-kits drop the car an alarming amount, you'll be tucking the rear for sure. The front just needs a deeper spring hat to do the same.
H&R Sport will be too high for you. H&R Race have a nice stance, but they may be too stiff for your needs.
I don't like Apex in general.
In the end, just get coil-overs and set your own rates/heights. Springs are a waste, go for the best and live happily ever after.

If the coil overs are raised and lowered won't an alignment be needed each time

I've just looked at 1010tires.com (they're in Canada so there are no customs duties) and you can get some for $345.99 +taxes + shipping.

Eibachs on my e36 hardly would lower it at all......Good quality spring though, VW uses them as OEM approved springs for lowering.....

Yeah I would say eibachs are a nice subtle drop, looks good, my intrax springs are a bit of a lower drop.
