I'm running the F11-20-030-03-VA front spring from the E10-20-031-05-22 335/340ix kit on my 4cyl xdrive car. Hub to fender measurement is 13-7/8".

The 335/340ix front will sit lower than my car in this pic:
Yeah. It looks like the US Eibach site is only showing me the mild drop 06-22 springs vs the more moderate 05-22 kit.

In some way, I'm a bit nervous dropping the car by 35mm in the front as my front splitter is already scraping on some driveways unless I approach very slowly at an angle with my current stock Xdrive ride height.

The funniest part is that the US Eibach site specially notes that the 06-22 springs were "tested with stock shocks" indicating that they believe the car will be properly dampened with the OEM LCI shock absorbers. I wonder if the LCI shocks can actually handle the increase rates of the Eibach springs as BMW seem to say that they made the later shocks dampen better after all the complaints of floatiness while cornering.
