Default Lowered springs and Adaptive Dynamics

I've searched but I can't find a thread specifically about my question.
I have a 2010 XFR, which has Adaptive Dynamics (AD).
I fitted Eibach lowered springs to my previous XF, an XFS, which didn't have AD. 30 mm drop at the front and 25 mm drop at the rear.
The springs were great, lowered the car just the right amount with only the tiniest deterioration in ride comfort.
So I'd like to fit the same Eibach springs to my XFR, but I've seen some vague reports that lowered springs can stuff up the AD system.
So, has anyone here with an XF with AD, preferably an XFR, fitted Eibach springs, and if so did you have any problems?

There is another member local to me who put either HR or Eibach springs on his XFR and there hasn't been an issue. He's had his on there at least a year.

BTW, your supercharged didn't have the adaptive suspension? Was that new for 2010?

I've got Mina lowering springs on my 2010 XFR, no issues with anything. Any spring you put on will be fine assuming it's fitted for our car and you don't go more than about 1.5 inches. Anything lower than that you'll want to make some other changes

My previous XF was a 2010 XFS, which is a 3 litre V6 twin turbo diesel. AD was an option on that model, mine didn't have it.
However all 2010 XFRs came with AD as standard.
