I'd like to echo what other posters have mentioned: the B12's Eibach Pro-Kit springs are too low.
It's been about a month and springs have settled, and while I don't have issues rubbing yet, the appearance is simply too low for my taste. I installed the Dinan camber plates up front, and without that extra 5mm I'd be even more unhappy. I also think the lowered height would look extra silly on stock wheels. I don't find the ride to be harsh, so at least there's that.
I'm thinking about going back to stock M-Sport springs, though I'd be losing about 28 ft/lbs in front and 100 ft/lbs of spring in the rear by going back to the 2012+ (rear) progressive spring. Anyone done this with the Bilstein B8 struts/shocks?

I would suggest getting a set of BMW Performance Springs instead of going back to the M Sport ones. More conservative drop than the Pro-kit springs and will likely pair better with the B8's you have as part of the B12 kit.
