lowering my e92

I have an e92 competition package and want to lower the FRONT wheels only. The competition package springs make the back low enough for my taste, so what I'm asking is....

Would it be a good idea to keep the back tire springs and only change the two front springs? I was thinking HR springs for the front only?

Thanks!

If you are going with H&Rs, keep in mind that the H&Rs lower the fronts 1", so you'll have a hell of a rake on that car. If you only lower the front. Just my opinion.

Dont use that method. Check out KW's sleeve kit or dinan's pricier equivalent.
