I really don't know. I've been told that after time they tend to sag but they could not tell me how long that would take? This is my daily driver too and since we both have S models you are not going to notice that much of a change to the ride quality.

1 week update for all of you interested in lowering springs!
After 1 long week on my new Eibach Prokits I do have to say that I don't know what took me so long to do this upgrade. I love the springs & the ride. I feel more connected to the road. The ride quality has been super smooth almost as if I never even changed the stock springs out.
My G feels much more aerodynamic, not sure if it is just mental but when I let off the gas pedal the car just glides across the highway. I coast pretty far without any dramatic drop in speed.
There is a significant reduction in front end dive during hard braking and much less body roll on sharp turns. Confidence on sharp freeway onramps has gone up tenfold.
I do have a minor issue with regards to my driveway at home but it's not that bad. I do have to hit it at an angle going in so I do not scrape my exhaust. I have to also back out at an angle or I will scrape my Tanabe tips. Already happened
scraped them but not too bad. No problem whatsoever with our driveway at work or the driveway at my local gym.
Speed Bumps in parking lots...not an issue. I always hit them slow anyways so there was really nothing I needed to change. The front end is not scraping on them so I do not have to hit them at an angle.
Everyone at work loves the drop and the more agressive appearance.
Anyways guys, hope this update helps those interested in doing the spring upgrade. One last thing for those of you not driving a G37S model. I'm not sure how those stock shocks are going to feel compared to the upgraded Double Piston Shocks that the S models come with so your ride quality may vary slightly from mine.

Eibach advertises a million mile warranty. Chances are, unless you're in the snow belt where you have to worry about freezing temp or salt, the springs will never break or wear out during your car's lifetime.
