Swift does market their spring as having a 1.0"/0.8" lowering height front to rear on the 335i vs. Eibachs 1.4"/1.0".
is your rubbing in the rear or the front?

if it's in the rear, you could gain ride height with ride height adjusters and 60mm or 2.5 id rear springs, your choice of spring weight. I'm pursuing something similar in order to increase spring rate and maintain ZSP rear height.

for the front, some increase negative camber to work around it.

also for the front, I've looked at but haven't tried BMW performance springs. They might provide a little less drop, are linear, and you can buy them individually.
