Has anyone? fitting front springs only ?

Quick question Has anyone fitted front lowering springs only ? the back sits imo perfect but the front just sits a tad to high  i dont want to lower the hole car (its a 335d e91) and once loaded up and trailer fitted i really dont want it anylower on the rear i know spring rates might be diffrent , and dont want to fit coilovers allround if it can be avoided ! thanks in advance |

As you say, the spring rate will probably be different between the two sets of springs, which could completely screw up your handling. I wouldn't fancy trying it, and there's a very good reason why springs are sold in sets of 4

They make lowering perches for this specific reason. It lowers your front 1/2".

I did but , only because we ran out of time to do the rears [ long story] To be fair it didnt make a massive amount of difference.
