3.6 front springs?
I would like to drop a few mm off the front of my 3.6. I have a brand new pair of unused Eibach lowering springs (quite a mild drop iirc) originally bought for a 535i sport.
Would these be suitable or are the m5s springs different?

Sod it looked them up myself and seems they are a Pro Kit for 520/525. I take it that means they wont be man enough for the m5 weight?
I bought them as 535 sport ones too. Some people havent got a clue.
