Lowering springs have higher spring rates than stock. Therefore, you should also match the springs with stiffer shocks.

You'll loose balance that engineers spent thousands of hours to achieve.

I lowered my E36 first with Eibach springs with standard shocks. The car would pogo up and down a lot. After a week of scary ride, I changed to H&R ( a bit higher), but this time, I bought bilstein sports shocks as well. The control were back. I got tired of hard ride after about a year.

Anyways, beware of worms if you dare to open the can.

Better read the warranty law found here<---.

Here's part of the post:
"Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302?) . For best results, consider working with performance-oriented dealerships with a proven history of working with customers."
