Lowering Springs for W212

If you were going to ride stock on the 18 inch AMG wheels, which springs would you recommend without having to buy shocks and compromising your ride? Any help would be great.

I installed Eibach sports and I am also running the 18" AMG wheels. There are a few photos rolling around this forum. No wheel gap and the perfect stance. Keep in mind that the springs are shorter and stiffer so you WILL get a slight pogo effect but it's minimal. Installing shorter properly valved dampers will cure this though.

Mine will only pogo on sharp changes in road surface such as intersections with highly crowned roads.

How much of a MM do you drop on the Eibach sports springs? How are they compared to the H & R springs and i see everyone using? Do you have pics of you car that you can show me? How long have you had your springs for and how are the stock shocks doing with the drop?
