Hi I have a CS as well and I’ve tried the Emanuel design springs and while they rode well (a little softer) but were unbearable low for DD in anything put perfect roads. I kept them for a few weeks and ordered a set of KW DDC and had them on for about 4 months now and I can say they are a great upgrade over stock while still maintaining DDC.
I’ve heard HAAS is good but I haven’t tried them

Last pic is EMD springs and the first 2 are KW

I have a CS with GC's version of the HAS kit.

The HAS and BMW HAS kit version is cool the only thing i don't like are the spring rates. They lower the car but do not do much for body roll control.

The GC version at least you can pick a spring rate that works for you.

Currently i am running 500 6" long springs with helpers and 700lbs 8" rear spring rates.

if you want to go a little lower than the image below you can do 5" front springs.

Front has about a 1.5 finger gap

Current setup works good for Track Days on Sport +

If you are looking for just springs I have a set of Eibach Euro V1 springs I will be installing shortly . The drop is the most conservative out there with similar spring rates apparently.

If your daily driving the car this might be the best option as I did a lot of research and selected these for my car as I daily drive it.

Lowering specs are

.8 front
.2 rear
