Lowering springs RWD vs XDrive

I am looking at lowering springs for my m240 RWD, but almost every set I've seen says it's for the XDrive version. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have the Cobra suspension on my car, it's good, has moderate drop, and is not as stiff as the H&R. Comfort mode is great and comfortable around town. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any springs available right now just depends on what you want.

Eibach - Moderate Drop - OEM ride-like quality.

Cobra - Moderate-High Drop - Slightly Stiffer than OEM - Keep in mind Cobra is not in NA anymore so if anything happens you will be dealing with them in Asia.

H&R - High Drop - Stiffer than OEM. Some say the OEM Sport Plus becomes comfort with H&R springs installed. (not my take).

There are also AST and other brands but like I said their difference is negligible. Dinan also released there's with a bumpstop kit which might be worth looking into.

The difference in X-Drive springs is the springs rates I believe, I think someone on here said the part numbers for the M340i and 240i are the same for Eibach, but take it with a grain of salt. Here are some springs that are RWD-specific or have RWD as part of their compatibility list.
