H&R Sport springs FA Load?

Hi,

Which ones should I use on my 328i?
28878-1 or 28878-2.

The difference is that 28878-1 has FA load up to 965 kg and 28878-2 has FA load from 966 kg.
I don't know what it really means but I guess FA stands for front axle? And that different engine types has different weight?

Is this it?

And which is the correct one?

Can anyone help me out. I found this:

But according to H&R's site it shows the 28878-2 for BMW 328i Sedan F30:

Found this on the german H&R site too, can't really tell if it does clear it up?

Would love to get this sorted out before ordering

For future refence, the correct H&R Sport Springs for 328i is 28878-1 as it has front axle load below 965kg.

Sadly all US sites states that 28878-2 is the correct model for all engine types (except X-drive) and this is incorrect!

What's the best aftermarket dampers to match with the H&R Sport springs? The base struts and shocks are too soft for my liking. I currently have Sports with the base dampers.

B8's aka sports in the years before are a well matched setup. It shows in the oversized tube on these. I've used them since the early E30 days with great success (actually that's an E21 with quikor suspension, bilstein actually rebuilt those for free when I acquired that car from the prior owner).

I'm looking hard at B6's on the stock springs though.
