Has anyone lowered their 318ic? What springs did you use? I was told that I can use 318is springs, but would have to use an extra pad in the rear so it won't drop to low. Has anyone done this?

I used eihbach sport springs for the sedan, I too was told that the rear would drop too much, but I have not noticed it
the front did drop lower then the back, ill seee if I can find the measurements, but it was like 1.5 in the front and 1.25 in the rear
I used used springs so I did expect the rear to sag, but it was all I dould find and afford at the time
I had a great link to springs, but cant find it right now
pic is the day I droppped the car back down
today I have to put the bottle caps back on :( they have better winter tires
