Are you thinking of the Pro-Kit, or the Sportline? The Pro-Kit has a rating almost the same as the ZSP springs (according to the Spring Rates sticky thread), but Pro-Kit springs are highly progressive, which means the rate changes with position and defeats my impressive math-fu.*

The sportline I don't know the rate (they're also highly progressive) but if I had to guess, I think they will be significantly stiffer (higher spring rate) and therefore will be more than 0.5 inch higher on your 328i than they would on a 335i. But it will be, like 0.6 or 0.7 inch higher, not more than that.

*I made a slight error including unsprung weight in the calc, but it makes almost no difference.
