i think it depends on your desired drop. Ive scanned numerous threads that say Koni matches well

I use BMW Performance Springs on Koni Sports and I love them. If you are looking to go low, they are not the spring to get. It only lowered me less than half an inch vs my stock springs.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want the lowered look and you don't intend on tracking it, I'd say go with ST coilovers. You can find them online for around $780 -$1k new. If you want improved suspension performance and you're not looking to go too low, then Koni Sports and BMW Performance Springs are a great way to go.

If you are not looking for a big drop, BMW PS springs are your best choice.

I'm going with the BMW performance springs, I'm not looking for a big drop I like the height as is plus I'm not old but cars hard enough to get in and out of, next ill be ordering a set on koni yellows from HP soon! Big thanks to 1pirate for all the helpful info so close to having all suspension mods!
