Which bmw F30 335i xdrive springs to install? It's too high!

Hi to all! My name is Kuba. I bought a bmw f30 335i xdrive and I have a problem ... I wonder what I can put on the springs to make this car look good. I have now installed 20 "rims .I want a stiffer suspension. Of course, also on the car seat lower. For me it is very high ...
What do you recommend What springs?
how much MM lower in the front and how much in the back?
Eibach? H & R? or something else?
Thanks for the answer.

Eibach has a mild lowering spring for xdrive that's about 10% stiffer and will lower Front 20mm/ Rear 15mm. Manufacturer Part #: E10-20-031-06-22. This helps to get rid of reverse rake that BMW builds into Xdrive where front is higher than rear. I installed these on my 335i xdrive, non-adaptive suspension. See attached photos of Eibach vs stock springs.

There are stiffer Eibach and H&R springs that will lower about 40mm. Caution is that if you put springs on that are that low and that much stiffer, you must change dampers too because stock dampers can't handle it. When you choose dampers for that purpose they must be designed to handle lower spring height or you won't have adequate damper piston travel.

Hope this helps!
