Interesting comments on Swift Spec R for 135i sagging.
Do you think this would impact a 128i which has a bit less weight? or was your case caused from track event use.

Do you think the e9x Swift Sec R's would be a better buy with anticipation that they sag. in my research here the e9x lowering springs typically raise ride height in the rear for a e82. While the front leave a gap that's not desired.

In my case on I use 135i 2011 springs & 335iS e92 shocks on the 128i. Here the rear is in a good spot while the front is raised higher gap then than rears. Not really a desired result by most even with a SP lowering perch and 2-3 years on the set up. My goals at the time was cost and function to get the rear linear 2011 springs.
I need to update this thread with some more details and findings.

To answer your question you're best of getting linear race springs with an adjustable top perch for the rear. Hypercoil or swift (hyperco are cheaper).

Fronts your limited to a coilover or konis with threaded sleeves.

I wouldn't bother with lowering springs none of them are great imo.
