Bilstein B8 and Dinan Springs
Curious if anyone has tried this combo.
I have read good reviews on the B8s. Plus, I have also read BMW Performance/Dinan springs are similar. Difference in spring rates? I am leaning toward Dinan because of costs (Dinan is running $300 right now, and BMW Perf. is running additional $100+ on top of that).

I'm very happy with my Dinan springs and Dinan Koni yellows. The Dinan versions of the Konis are nice because you can adjust the rears from the top without having to remove them from the car. Perfect drop and great control without being overly harsh. Another option would be the Swift springs. No personal experience but folks running them seem to like them a lot.

I can certainly vouch for the Swift springs. Similar price to the Dinan Springs but a bit stiffer than both Dinan and BMWP iirc. Gave me a very mild drop (0.25" lower than my stock sports suspension) when paired with B6/HDs and made the car both sharper and more comfortable. B8s will give you a bit more of a drop I think but certainly nothing crazy.
