Front springs only?
I think I know the answer to this question but:
Would it be bad to run different springs in the front of a 335i sport pack? The thing is, as you are probably aware, that the sport package seems to keep the E92 pretty evenly lowered (no rake). The only problem is the rear is sitting pretty, but the front has horrible gap (see below). I assume that it can be done but I assume the closer the spring rates are to the sport pack springs the better.

You can buy a perch kit from one the vendors on this site that will lower the front end a few mm. They run about $80. No need to swap springs out.

Ohh and to answer your question about springs...you can mix them. Ive seen people run h&r race in front and h&r sport in the back....common on xi cars as they have front rake.
Ive also seen oem sport in back and h&r sport in front. |

Get the Dinan camber plates , they lower 5 mm. You car needs to be balanced correctly 50/50 othewise on hard braking the rear will loose traction and start moving . I say dont focus too much on the looks but on the setup itself for best handling.
