Suspension Setup with Coilovers

Hi, sort of new to this but I have a 2007 335i with Bilstein Pro Street S coil overs sitting at 22.75" measured from bottom of wheel to fender arch, on the left side, and 22.6" on the right side. I found that the M3 Comp Package sits around 23.6" (600mm) up front and 23" (584mm) in the rear.

1. Does the increased rake negatively affect handling considering the front is lowered by an additional 0.6" when accounting for a ~0.3" drop all around (compared to an M3 zcp)? I'd think I should keep the drop level with the factory height, but don't know the acceptable amount of additional drop in the front.

2. How much higher should the left side coil overs be in order to balance the car with my weight in the drivers seat (150 lbs)

Any help is appreciated!
