Coilovers with no rear drop?

I was looking to get a set of coilovers that will allow the rears to sit at stock height. Currently I have the oem e92 sport suspension with 285/30/19's and I can't go lower in the back. I would like to go lower in the front. It seems like all the sets I've seen drop the rear by at least .25-.50 inches according to their specs. Would replacement springs, shocks and the addition of front lowering perches be a better route?

First, I would try Supreme Power Lowering Perches. They will lower the front about 1/2" on a RWD model

There is no coilover kit that does what you want.

What you will have to do is mix and match components. Use the front strut setup from a coilover setup and install rear shocks from bilstein or koni and leave the stock springs in the rear.

I don't recommend you mix and match like this unless you know what your doing with valving/spring rates.

I think Broadway static and fortune auto can make custom valved with custom height coilovers contact them and see what they say. I think they're the same company but fortune auto is more performance based and Broadway static is more slammed car based. I could be wrong though lol
