bmw performance and dinan both use springs that drop about half an inch or less.
eibach and hr are well over an inch

I think what you are saying is 1" is a significant drop on STOCK struts.
None of the options I had mentioned included only adding lowering springs to the stock struts as this would obviously be a bad idea; and would wear out the stock strut significantly faster.
