If you would want to buy only the front H&R springs, these are probably the same (even though the picture shows rear springs. VA - Vorderachse - front axle)

So E12 springs work, but only in the front?
FYI. Joachim is out of the H&R springs. Thinks he’ll have more in 2-3 weeks.

Great suggestion thanks!
Do you think camber plates will also be required on the fronts?
Ok, was leaning that way and easier to install while the struts are off. Any recommendations on camber plates? And will they affect the lowering height?I use camber plates and would recommend it.
Rolling the fenders is also recommended but I haven't done that, since the tyre hasn't touched the fender once over the last three years, but I'm very careful at low speeds and driving into driveways etc.
