Has anyone used springs and had their car lowered? Did you find the car too close too the ground/bottoming out too easily or was it manageable. Also, did you notice an improvement in handling by having the springs?

The B12 kit pairs Bilstein B8 sport dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. Pro-Kit springs are the mildest offering by Eibach. I ran them on my 330i and a friend has them on his E36 M3. They tidy up handling nicely, and you can hardly tell the difference in ride height. Eiback sport line are significantly more aggressive and lower the car too much for my tastes.
