If you can swing it, go coils! That way you'll only do it once. I've seen over and over again people went springs first then eventually get coils. Don't waste your time and money on springs and do it right the first time.
My first mod for my E90 is KW v3 and couldn't be happier |

The other advantage of coils is if you don't like the stance...you can change it! Something you can't do with springs alone...

Good coils will cost you between $1500 - $2500 brand new.

I installed it diy with a friend and it depends on which set you planning on getting. Each coilovers prices varies, as far as price for installation that also depends on the shop. Just do your research and ask around for prices. I'd highly recommend Pat@Sonic Tuning for the parts though. The guy never sleeps and answers whatever questions or concerns you may have.

Do it right the first time and get coilovers also the difference in comfort level will depend what kind of coilovers you buy.

i was thinking the v3's honestly i was looking to spend no more then $1200 not including install of course but i will be completing my rear bumper/ exhaust setup up first. This will be the last thing on my list so im just trying to find a really good deal, what are other coil overs that are reallly good other then the kw's??
