Please help in making choice of coilovers

Hi,

I already have H&R coilover 29177-1 bought with the car used (2007 335i coupe) but are leaking (warranty not transferable). Considering replacing with ST XTA (height and dumper adjustable) but comparing lowering specs of ST and H&R, not sure if ST will lower the FRONT to the same current level as H&R already in the car. I want to maintain the same stance the car already has. The fronts and rear are perfect and not rubbing at all.

ST XTA Coilover Kit part #: 18220832
Front Lowering: 0.8" to 1.8"
Rear Lowering: 0.8" to 1.6"
=============================
H&R Street Perf. Coil Over 29177-1
Front lowering: 1.25" to 2.5"
Rear lowering: 0.75" to 2.0"
==============================

Anyone with experience in coilovers to offer pointers? Thanks!

KW streetcomfort are always highly recommended.
