Based on this data, I won't be doing it. Eibachs are softer at the highest progressive rating than CP's springs. CP is 20% stiffer than standard, and the Eibach's highest rate is ~12% stiffer than standard in back and ~9% in front.
Interesting and great info Alok.

So it seems the Eibachs will provide a softer than Comp Pack but a stiffer than stock ride quality, but still present a more aggressive drop in ride height than Comp Pack springs. I think the Eibachs might be a better compromise for those looking for a more aggressive stance and a more comfortable ride quality than Comp a Pack. Which is what I would be looking for. On my last M5 I made the car too stiff for the street but it handled fantastic on the track. I vowed to never go that aggressive again cause it just made the M5 un-enjoyable.
