Right - this is what I was told back in my E60 days; I wanted just to drop the front and leave the rear, and I was told by Eibach's techs that it would be bad to install just fronts or rears, that they're engineered as a set and it would be a bad idea not to install them as such.

I've heard that H&R, as well as Eibachs developed for the non CP M5 work fine on the CP car. Same with the KW sleeve kit.

So installing the springs should work fine on your CP car.
