You're welcome & I am glad I could help. I did check out your profile and it seems you are very in tune with your car. Therefore just putting this out there that one more option that is available -> for maximum performance go with megan racing front springs (370lbs front) and adjustable perch rear + 9" swift 60mm spring 1100lbs.

This way it still retains the shocks/struts from the factory style ( Recommend Bilstein B8's) vs the cost of coilovers.

I appreciate the added info. Lots of options to weigh but I think I'm leaning towards just saving up for coilovers... I already have the m3 rear control arms and some misc. bits and bobs ready for that conversion. sorry for hijacking this thread but it has some really good info on springs!!!!
