E91 Spring Rate??

I didn't know sedan/wagon xi/nonxi all have different springs.

I have E91 with regular springs. I wanted minimal drop by using used e90 sport springs but I don't think it will work since rear is heaver (panoramic roof) in Wagon.

Somehow my front is sitting higher than rear with stock setup.
I am ok with current rear height but want to lower the front little. I am guessing it should be even if I put regular springs from e90? (spring is from lighter car so it will sit little lower)

Yeah, the wagon is kind of it’s own beast. I’d look for european sources options and examples. They have tons of wagons and lots of them are modded.

Using 335i sport springs might be an option bc the 335i is 250lbs heavier
