Aftermarket suspension recommendations?

With all the talk of dynamic handling (or lack thereof), who is considering an aftermarket suspension upgrade?

Recommendations?

I don't want to "lower" my car; rather, I want to improve the steering feel and stiffness which should have been part of the "sport package" in the first place.

You can go with a set of springs and maintain the factory shocks for adaptive ride. However, most aftermarket springs will lower the car some what.

The only F10 aftermarket springs I've seen so far all lower the car.

Like jlevi said you're not going to find many aftermarket options that don't lower the car I think.

Though you can get coilovers for even better handling than aftermarket springs would give you and you will be able to adjust it to factory height, higher, or lower.
