228 x drive bilstein suspension upgrades

I know there has been a thread or two here but not much info on there. Looking at suspension upgrades for 228ix, was looking at bilstein b14 but not liking feedback on ride quality and spring rates being too stiff and unbalanced front to rear. Interested in b12 pro kit but most sites seem to state it only is for 228 rwd. Anybody know if it can be used for x drive as well or is totally not compatible? Maybe any compatible b8 shock/strut and spring combo if anybody knows a good working set up there? Not looking to totally trash ride comfort but improved handling and composure over rougher roads would be main objectives. Anybody have any insight here?

I recommend contacting Bimmerworld at https://www.bimmerworld.com/.

I have no affiliation with BW, but have interacted with them and bought many products from them over the years. They're no-nonsense straight-shooters.
