<E24> Springs

The front springs are starting to sag on my 1985 635.  One side is about
5/8 in. lower than the other and I'm going to replace the front springs and
the shocks.  In the quest for better handling, I've thought about
installing Eibach springs which will reduce the ground clearance of the
car.  The problems are twofold: I don't know whether the Eibach springs
will increase or decrease the current ground clearance which is already
somewhat reduced.  Now, the front air dam is uncomfortably close to the
ground.  Does anyone know what the proper measurement should be between the
top of the fender well and the center of the front wheel - or a similar
measurement?  I would like to know what my ground clearance will be before
I install the springs.  Any other advice about front end replacement parts
while I have it apart would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry
