Spring Pad or Strut Spacer for M550i?

Just thinking out loud. I am looking to lower my M550i and I like the H&R drop except it looks a tad too low in the front. On my vintage BMW, I know there was a strut spacer that could be used to raise the front 1/4 inch or so. Is there such a thing that an be used on the G30 M550i?

Haven't seen it. But you could simply go with the Dinan springs which offer .75" drop front and rear.
There are many photos online of their Dinan S1 M550i Xdrive press car when they marketed the package back in 2018/2019. Google "Dinan S1 M550i Xdrive" for the articles and pictures.

Dinan's not low enough. H&R is perfect except the front is too low. I think my only option is MSS as its adjustable.
