Welcome to the forum matey. I have a pipercross filter which I think is pretty good and can highly recommend the VWR springs which lowers by  25mm. I've found that it also improves the OEM ride.

I would personally have the panel filter as I don't want any induction noise. Yes I do have the VWR springs and there are pictures on the site if you do a search :smiley:
