Xdrive springs in back msport springs in front??

Hey guys. So I've noticed in my 2012 528xdrive that the back of the car is considerably lower than the front. Not sure if this is because I have an audio system in the trunk that is about 100-120 pounds. I've recently put on 20" wheels and the back looks perfect with a wheel gap of about an inch but the front of the car has a huge wheel gap probably 3 inches or so. My question is would I be able to purchase some used non x-drive msport springs and mount them in the front but keep my stock non msport xdrive springs in the back??

Here is a pic for reference. I know the front wheel is super bent lol I was just test fitting but here you can clearly see the front wheel gap is much more than rear

Not a good idea, better buy aftermarket springs for all 4 corners. Your front lip is bend

Thanks yes I know about the bend lol it will be fixed soon . I don't mind buying aftermarket springs like H&R for all four corners but in the back I'm afraid it will be too low. The tires are 10.5" wide and stick out a little bit. If I lower it they will rub I think
