A friend of mine over here has a 120d. When he lowered his with H&R springs his rear end was too high for his liking. He took the car back to the shop that did the install. They used a combo or Z8 and the last 6er rear spring perch rubber pad. The 6er uses a thiner spring perch pad than our cars. Sorry I don't have any other info.

Btw... when you measure the ride height, measure from the wheel arch to the wheel center lines.

You might want to ask a second dealer to double check the spring part numbers that you have. Maybe Dan@United or Jason@Tischer can help you out here.
