I remember back when the 63 was first released. Guys were running regular C300 drop springs on the 63. I gotta look, but I had a pic of a white C63 with HREs dropped on C300/350 lowering springs. So "Maybe" the Eibachs will work.

Oh ok....I mean I ran 350Z Tein springs on my G35 coupe to get a lower drop and the ride was comfy so maybe they will work.

That's comparing apples and oranges. If you compare the Eibachs for the 300/350, they don't lower as much as the H&Rs. So if Eibach did make a spring it probably wouldn't lower .75 inches. Also the 1.2 stated for the Eibach isn't for the sport model. Therefore the 300/350 aren't even lowered .75 inches inactuality. The 1.2 is based off of the luxury model.

Either way. I think coilovers are the best bet. The springs wont match the OEM shocks, and will prematurely fail. Plus you can drop much more with the coil-overs. A little more money, but will pay off, if you plan to keep your car for awhile.

Sport Springs are developed for OEM shocks.

The problem is the coilovers cost 10times the springs.I am not going to track the car, i just want to lower it so it look better.
