but you will two different spring rates in the front and rear if you do that then
buy some ground control springs and you can adjust the ride height and have the same spring rates all around

This will be an experiment for me to get the right look I want. The reviews I got from this forum says eibach springs are close to the ride of an OEM sport springs. What is a ground control springs?
dude that is a retarded experiment and you could seriously harm your suspension running different spring rates.
Ground control springs are form eibach and they allow you to adjust them

I'm sure I'llbe able to feel it right away. If the ride doesn't suit me then I'll go replace the rear with OEM sport as well.

good luck Al.... Is the front too low for you???? I'm sure you'll be fine... I had a Infiniti 2004 Q45 before my e60 and I kept the stock suspension in the rear and used lowering springs in the front... I didn't notice any ride quality or performance issues by doing so... and it looked sooo much nicer!Keep us updated!
