you lowered the ride height with STOCK springs, with full range of motion in bump. ditch the spring compressors and buy proper springs.

Normally I would agree with you, but we are not talking about some little Honda or Toyota. It is noted with most luxury cars, such as yours, that the lowering springs are not as stiff as the stock springs. And the spring clamps, so long as checked on a regular basis, are plenty safe for use. The mishaps/horror stories on the internet are from people who install them and never do the follow on torque checks or periodic checking. I am not trying to start an argument, just posting a point.
