Lowering a 4.8iS

Quick question.
Already deleted the air suspension, sitting in H&R springs and Billy shocks/dampers.
Love the ride height of the rear, but the front I wish was maybe a little lower.
Who makes a spring kit that sits lower than H&R?
Do B&G springs sit lower, does Eibach make a kit for these?
Thanks.

I went with a Taiwanese brand called "Gecko". Opted to get mine with camber plates for some negative camber action in the front. Here's a video about some of their features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f0CoyXRkI4

I think I've I've heard of these from my E34 friends.
Interesting, at that price tho, I might as well get BCs for a tad more. Hmmm

Like BC's these are made in Taiwan. I've heard of issues with BC's as well, so I thought id give geckos a go, & have been pretty satisfied. Whichever way you go, best of luck
