Hey, i had RWD my entire life. I recently bought a 2009.5 Xdrive 335 coupe and i love it. Has all the options except auto trans and active cruise. (both uselsss).What i dont like is how high it sits. It looks like a monster truck and i want to drop it. If just dropping it for me is my goal, and at the same time firm up my suspension a bit (not on the top of my list but w/e) do i go with just springs or coilovers. thanks

Springs will give you the look you're going for while firming up your suspension. I have H&R Sport Springs and love them. However, they are a bit bouncy. If it's in your budget, I would recommend upgrading your shocks to Bilstein Sport while you're at it. There are coilover options but neither is without their faults (leaking struts (KW), rust/corosion/harsh ride (H&R))

i took a look at another thread where you mentioned that setup. It sounds pretty good to me.. any diff on this set up you have compared to the coilover option?

well after reading your post i dont think i will be ordering from them. why would you even recommend them after you strongly feel like everyone should stop placing orders?

Eh things got cleared up a little in the past few days. A quality product is a quality product.

Yeah go with H&Rs and Bilstein sport shocks if you don't need height adjustability.

regardless of the status of the situation now, the road leading up to now is an important deciding factor. its either you blew it up out of proportion or this business truely disrespected you as a customer ( who they should be lucky to have in this day) and are sabotaging their revenue stream.

will there be springyness/bouncyness with the bilstein shocks and hr springs? are there any benefits of doing the KWV1's or 3's over this set up besides adjustability?
