What exactly happend? Front was exactly the same as before and the rear you nearly gap a finger between fender and tyre. I said mhmm, ok, let's google and after some searches i found that i have higher guide supports and also found some front upper spring perchs which could lower the car a bit. Order the parts, changed them and then boom, the front lower a bit ~0.5inch and still have that ugly rake in the front.
This B4 struts doesn't have those stoping points which could be cuts in order to push furder the strut into the carrier.
The car is a e90 LCI xDrive 4cyl.

Any advice or should i buy directly coilovers?
