For the self-leveling X5's, the H&R spring kit only comes with 2 front springs:

You can either go with sport (1.2 inch front drop) or race (2.0 inch front drop) Once you install the front springs, we will need to get custom shortened links for the rear which adjust the rear height. The links which the shop installed on my rear were about 1/3 of the length of the stock links.
Good luck, I will be posting pics soon.

Did you try to get the dealer to adjust the rear height just by re-programming it? My tech said it should be possible to re-calibrate the height and 'trick' the suspension to think the new height is 1.2" lower in the rear. However some posts here suggest otherwise and mention using links.
I need to know soon as my springs are on order and I will be installing very soon ...
