Help me upgrade my 335i suspension!

Hi,

Looking to purchase a 2009 335i E92 ZSP soon. Was wondering: what is a great setup for spirited street driving? I could lower it down to 5 inches clearance if I wanted, or could leave it at stock height, but the stock suspension (sport) is a little squishy.

If I leave the stock height intact, my options are a Bilstein HD set. How much would this improve ride quality and sway?

If I go with Eibach lowering springs, I am looking at either Bilstein sport or Koni FSD or Sport, correct? What kind of handling improvements could I expect over a stock spring setup?

3rd option is a coilover. Given that I don't want a slammed ride height (5 inches minimum); any reason to consider these over the Eibach/Koni?

Koni yellows. If you want it more compliant to daily driving you can keep it on the softer side of the scale.

I am selling full eibach suspension kit (damper and spring) that will fit on your e92 335i coupe.
It's great setup for street driving. Much better than my stock sport suspension.
Let me know if interested.
