Blistein b4 shocks and apex lowering springs
My front shocks are leaking ,they are the original ones. I have decided to go B4 shocks not sure about Apex lowering springs 30mm - 35mm . I am looking for improved handling and some comfort. Has anyone tried this combination ? what are your thoughts ?

Go for eibach sport springs, it’s a proven set up on b4 shocks

The b4 are closer to oem maybe similar to sri, the apex might be quite a stiff spring im sure they are lowerer similar to h&r so will crate a miss match as the softer shocks cannot control to stiffer rate springs. If you cant afford b6 or 8 than as above and ive had them on 2 cars now Eibach would be spot on. I have had Eibach on new genuine sri shocks and on B8's as i have now and they are amazing and close to a factory ride but lower and give better handling.

My tanker is heavier than yours and the Eibach springs work very well along with the B8's keeping 300 bhp under control when its not understeering. I didn't even look at what car you have just normal working out but the 1.8 is a lot lighter up front so B4 with the Eibachs should handle real well and not be harsh over rough surfaces. And all my experiences with this kind of set up has been with 19's too.
