It will be hard around here to get an answer to that question because it has been covered so many times. You can do a search for H&R springs (sport and race), Eibach Pro-Kit (Sportsline also, if you have an E90), Tein S-Tech and the list goes on. Check out those options to see which one gives you the look you are going for. You will also be told that you should upgrade the shocks if you go with lowering springs.. Shocks include Koni yellows, Koni FSD, Bilstien (E90) ect.

The search button will be your best friend in this forum. If you have issues trying to navigate the search function on the forum, just go to google and search for example: "e92 335i with H&R sport springs" and it will most likely link you to threads on the forum. Google image searches will also help you out a lot.

Hope that helped.

Are you planning to get springs only or springs with shocks/struts. If you plan on getting both springs and shock/struts, I'd save up a little more and get a set of coilovers new or find them used in the classified section. This will give you the ability to change the ride height depending on what 19s you are getting and whether you plan to add spacers to change the offsets, etc.. ST coilovers are affordable and the ride is not harsh at all

DUDE!the BMW. don't "JUST" drop springs on it and call it good. Save up the cash and do it right, coil-overs and all. You will be infinitely more satisfied with the look and above all performance.

Having said this I am only just purchasing my first NEW BMW, I have however rode shotgun in my buddies whips and I can tell you that the spring "ONLY" experience is immediately noticed under load/spirited driving.

Remember bro, you just stepped your game up, while dropping springs into a nice light Honda make a huge difference in performance. You will need to add a little more to the mix on a BMW if you are going to mess with an already optimized system. Enjoy the ride Bro.

i just finished explaining why you shouldn't do that. I just don't feel like typing the whole thing. check out post #4.

If you're not interested in coils, go for the BMW Perf suspension. At least its an OEM part and you won't ever run into any warranty issues.
