Eibach springs

So I put these on my 300 many, many years ago and really like them. The car was 10 years old by then, so it did not change the height much Backues the springs had already settled about that much.

I wonder if the same would be true for a 2004 3.0 sport package? Even if ingest the full inch drop, it appears that I will still have plenty of room to not rub, correct?

How do they change the ride? Did not change my 300 much, just made everything a little more solid and evened out the corners nicely.

Any feed back anyone can offer me?

So after looking through pictures and finding on that was labeled that the drop was less on M cars and Sport package cars because their springs were already lower, it appears that the drop would only be 15mm no the full 30mm. I would like to do the drop then measure for wheel spacers, but I have see a few pictures with Eibachs and then 15mm up front and 20mm in the back with no rubbing reported, so I think I would be safe.

Eibach springs on Z4M's and non-M's are not the same parts. Totally different applications.

I thought I read the the sport package cars have the M suspension parts and have the same reduced drop with the eibach springs?
