That is a pretty agressive offset in the rear for an LCI, you may find you will rub after lowering your car, so a fender roll might be needed.
As to your question, yes, you will impact the ride comfort and handling performance of your car and not necessarily for the better if you were to JUST put springs on. You need to pair a lowering spring with a shock better designed for the lower ride height and spring rate of the springs.
Take a look at the BMW performance dampers from Tischer (they are a sponsor under the vendors suspension forum). The dampers will be moderately more stiff than your zsp shocks and they are designed to work with a slightly lower spring. The shocks are only $133 on close-out (retail for $800+). Inventory is running VERY low and once they are gone they are gone.
Based on your needs (drop, improved handling performance, while maintaining some of the stock ride comfort) I would recommend pairing the performance dampers with the Eibach Pro Kit Springs. (I have this set up too)
