Not sure if this is going to help yet but I have ordered eibach springs for my GC. Apparently they are pretty identical to the ACS springs but if you wanna drop it the most go for h&r although that compromises comfort the most.

Here is the drop on H&R, this is on the xdrive... goes slightly lower in the rear on RWD is the general consensus.
Ride comfortably and handling is drastically improved... top pics are front/rear before and bottom pic front /rear after. That is the top of some energy drink my boy had..its a bis cap though at least 1.5 - 2 inches if not more

H&R springs
Here is mine on H&R springs. I put it on a few months ago, and it's all settled in. The drop makes it look fairly even on the front and rear (rear is slightly higher than front). The front drop is noticeable, however the rear was minimal (about 1/2"-5/8").
I want to go about 1/2" to 3/4" lower in the front and rear, so I'm looking into getting coilovers... but don't know which one to get. I heard KW were the best bet, however they only make the V3 version which I don't want to spend that much (around $2700 + install cost) for another 1/2"-3/4" drop. I heard BC are good coilovers as well for the cost. Anyone have experience with BC? This was the only review I can find closest to our year/model (6 series). I read the reviews on other cars (subaru, acura, etc...) and they were very happy with them. http://premiumfuelmag.com/bc-review/ |

With the BC's you can adjust your height and stiffness settings by removing rear wheels and from the top of the strut in the front and height from removing rear wheels. But as you do your research especially in the Subaru forum pay attention to the the individuals that talk about the significant improvements in between the stock BC coil and the Swift spring upgrade. Attached is the pic of install i did on my 2010 Maxima, the Swift upgrade has bronze springs while the regulars have black springs. Car looks fire by the way... I think with that set of H&R, she pretty mean looking, but again... we all mod our cars differently.. hoped that helped.

When you say you want to "maintain factory adjustability," I assume you mean you want to be able to still use EDC. Just so you know, no one makes a coil over for our cars that retains EDC. With coil overs, you must delete EDC. I went H&R for a modest drop and am pleased. H&R is about the lowest drop you will get with springs. And difference in comfort is barely perceptible.
