Well here's the answer i got off Another BMW Site!
CSL springs are very progressive, especially the fronts (~4 coils). The shocks are also more heavily damped to suit the springs. Most aftermarket springs are too soft to suit the CSL shocks (softer springs, harder dampers = car that changes direction slower). If driving is your main focus, stick with the OEM or if you want better adjustability, you need to get a set of coilvers to really justify the upgrade. Well Put id say!!! So She stays the way she is! ![]()

Ok here is Thorney's car with KW's on at the back of the pic, mine in front on standard set up.
Not the best angle , and best quality , only on iphone so not good for pics, but you can get a feel for how low it sits, admittedly this is on the lowest setting , so can be adjusted , but he swears by them, and this is his road car , and it does handle V V well ! ![]()
