Your set up is very similar to mine and I like it as well. The only differences I see is that I have 2011 M sport springs rather than the 2009 springs that came on my car and I still have the stock rear sway bar. The 2011 M sport springs are linear (at least the rears are) compared to the progressive springs that came on the 2008-10 1s. The springs and the Koni Sports virtually eliminate any bounce, especially in the rear.
