Suspension dilemma

I own a 2008 135i (since day 1). The car has the following suspension setup:
TC Kline Mono ball kit
Dinan Koni Struts
Swift Springs (too low and car is just sagging up front)
M3 front sway bar
M3 rear subframe bushings

Last alignment was 6 months ago at bmw. Car rides like shit and every time I go over a decent bump the car just crashes. The struts and springs were replaced 3 years ago. When I run drive over uneven roads its rubs.

I'd like to get some matched coilovers like the Bilstein PSS $800 at FCPeuro. Getting these coilovers has been very difficult, and the ETA still keeps getting pushed back.
Are BC's any good? I don't want KW v1's because I read that they make noise over speed bumps. The Bilstein B8's are out of stock as well until October. I only wanted to spend $1,200 or $1,300 at most.

Another option to take a look at is the ST kits? THey are made by KW though so not sure if that will bother you.

ST is basically KW without the stainless bodies.
