Safe for suspension?
Okay so I am looking to upgrade my stance a little bit and was thinking of adding 10mm spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the rear. Along with the spacers I would like to get either H&R or Eibach springs. I'm definitely looking for a meaner look with hopefully a slightly more than 1" drop. Would this combination be safe to run on an otherwise stock Xdrive suspension? My car is a 2011 Lci N55 xdrive MT coupe if that matters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am lost in this topic.

Personally I would go the coilover route. If you go with just springs I'd get koni yellows to go along with it because stock x drive shocks are weak. I ordered coilovers last week because I can raise it back up in the winter so I'm not snow plowing and the handling and ride will drastically improve. Coilovers as well will let you dial in your drop more than what springs would. Anything is safe on xdrive just search the forums a little on springs and shocks combos vs coilovers and see what appeals to you more and your budget and do your homework and you'll be good
