About to lower the car
I am about to lower the car with Koni adjustables and H and R sport springs. I have 19" brabus monoblock VI and want to know which spring pad to use for the suspension. I do not want rubbing, but I also want it to look aggresive........any advice
Thanks in advance!

Hi Derek, with 19" wheels and assuming they are in the region of 8.5" to 10" (don't know what they are!) wide I think you are looking for trouble unless you get the fenders done or unless the offsets take the wheels well inside the fenders you have a chance that the wheels will rub even with standard pads with the H&R springs IMHO.
I think your problem will be when you are driving at speed over undulating roads when the car takes a higher level of compression than normal. At that point the car will sit much lower and the tyre will ping the fender.
I would try with stock pads first and see how it goes even if you do change them at a later date at the extra cost that will bring.
Just my view
but I am sure there will be lots of opinions on this.
