Have you thought about BMW's Performance Suspension Kit? For the 135i it comes with shocks, springs, and a front sway bar(I think?) plus all the mounting hardware. I think its priced around $1,100 for the kit.
Lots of guys install the M3 front sway bar. But I think that can only increase understeer at the limit. The reason why everyone seems to like this mod is bc they get no where near the limit on the street - and the stiffer bar really cuts down on front end sway and makes the steering feel more direct.
One of the Best mods for the suspension is getting rid of the RFT and going with a top tier tire like Michelin PS3's or PSS's. That was one of my best mods to date along with the M3 rear axle bushings.

Hi Dack
I am plaaning to get the BMW Performance Suspension Kit plus replacing the four subframe bushing with the M3 ones.
Is this a good setup for daily driving?
