H&R lowering springs for msport 330d

Right im looking to order springs this weekend. My issue being what drop is going to be best for my e90 msport 330d.

I notice they do a few different combinations. Car does low mileage now as my new job is very close to home so i can afford to be a touch overboard.

here's a current pic of how it sits now.
your thoughts please peeps
If anything i would like the car a touch lower towards the front. Not looking like the springs have fell out the back.

If your looking at h&r your options are the sports springs or the race springs. I have both on different cars with the race springs on an e90 which are an aggressive drop both front and rear and is a firm ride which is not to everyone's liking but I love it, really depends on how much of a drop you want and what level of oem comfort you need

H&r will drop the front end more so for example they quote 50mm drop on the front and 25mm on the rear for the sports springs but that's based on a standard set up, if your running m sport suspension knock off 10mm front and rear so your looking at a 40mm/15mm drop

H&r sport is what u want. Race is too low and you'll be scraping over all speed bumps. Ive ran the sport ones before and they were great

Having had H&R on a few cars in the past, I would go for Eibach which I have on my 330d and are much better

thanks for the replies. H&R its going to be it seems.

Super low is just a pain . But it can still be low enough to look good but still be a bit sensible at the same time !! lol!
Wonder what bmw were thinking when they pointed the front end at the sky instead of the ground.. hmmm.

I have sent a pm gerdy !

I've had the pro kit on my last 3 cars including an E92 330d & can't fault them.

+1 for the eibach springs, I've had H&R and found them too low for daily use - especially my works car park
