Need your input!

I finally decided to not go through with purchasing coilovers, as I feel that its overkill for a daily driver. Had them on my E46 M3, and never used them to there potential.

SO! I decide to get Eibach springs, which I am told are on backorder until April. My question is, Do I just go ahead and purchase Mach V springs instead of waiting for the Eibachs? It seems from my research that the Mach V & Eibach's are the only springs I want. My wheels will be 17x7.5 with 215/40/17 setup. Any input from you guys would be awesome!

Since the H&R's are off your list, I'd say get the Mach V if the Eibachs are essentially unavailable.
