Default lowering my 530 sport model

So this may be a stupid question but.......... I want to lower my 530. The eibach springs say they will lower the car about 1.5 inches...... Now how much would it lower a sport model that already sits lower than a standard suspension set up? I was trying to wrap my head around this and couldn't seem to come up with anything. Please let me know if you have any input, thanks.

measured off of a non-sport, the pro-kit drops the 525/530 about 1.2" all around. sport models are roughly about 0.7" lower than non-sports, so the eibachs would drop a sport model the difference in height.
