suspension upgrade for E420

What is the best suspension upgrade for the E420 without sacrifice the comfort? (less body roll, lower the car)
If I go for the Eibach springs, will the stock shocks able to hold up with the Eibach springs after 2 years + ?
What other options do I have?

Thanks

Eibach is definitely popular and reputable. Personally I have H&Rs with Bilstein shocks. And I like it, my ride is not as comfortable due to my bigger wheels and less sidewall.

You can't go wrong with either brand of spring. But I think most people would recommend that you get new shocks when getting lowering springs. Otherwise there may be a 'floaty' feel when driving at highway speeds or shortens the life of the stock shocks.
Good luck!
