Koni yellows with bmw PS springs

Well I have been reading these forums for about a year now trying to soak up everything I could. Well, I have been thinking about finally leaving stock suspension and getting the koni yellows. The one problem I have is I can't decide on the springs. I have heard mixed feelings about the eibach springs and the H&R springs. I decided on something that i have not really seen around the forum. The koni yellows with BMW PS springs. I wanted to know what you fellas think about that set up. Im open to any and all opinions and advice you can give me. Thanks for the help.

That combination will work fine. IMO the main advantage of BMW PS springs is that the height and rates are for sure calculated correctly for your car.

I don't understand why don't you go with either BMW PS or KW V1 instead of mix and match.

That's the spring/shock combo I'm interested in.
Does anyone know where you can get both f/r bump stops from the BMW PS? GaryS?
Tischer only sells the rear bump stops seperate from the PS.

Maybe you can order Z8 bump stops.

Well mainly it's price. Because if i was going for the BMW PS I'd go for pss9's. I thought the combination would work better than the other springs. Has anyone done this?
