Lowering Kit

I just bought a 2003 CLS6 and I want to lower it. I have a 99 TL dropped on H&R Sports and Tociko shocks. Is there a similar drop for the CL? I can get a set of Eibach springs on ebay for $224 shipped. What is the general consensus here? I know coilovers would be a better option but I don't have that kind of money to spend.

B&G has a spring and strut combo thats 1.5 all around I think.

Eibach springs are good. Just make sure you don't get the ones that sag. But I think they only have 2 drops, one thats around 1.2 and another around 2.1. Same with Tein. B%G is the only one I can think of that has the middle drop.
