Just go the route my car is setup and 'trim' a little off the springs..
Bilstein HD's and H&R greens.. You'll see when i 'trim' mine slightly how it will turn out.
(there's like 4 dead coils on them... take one or two out, you have perfect ride height)

If I was going through the trouble to change (or trim I guess) the springs, I would change the struts if they had any age at all. I think mine had been on the car since 1990 when I put the Bilstein HD's on 2 years ago. Well worth the money.

The advice about new shocks as well is worth noting. My original Boges were pretty much crashing out on most bumps with the lower Eibach springs and made for a very harsh ride at RS height. Now with the K&W V3's at somewhere closer to Cup height the car tracks and behaves perfectly even on bumpy roads. The Boges were all but useless when we pulled them off the car.

You will likely need new shocks. So go Bilstien HD with H&R greens. You can set them in this config to RS ride height no problem. That's what I did before I went to Cross.
