335XI Dinan Stage 3

So I've been looking into doing some suspension work. I saw the stage 3 dinan kit for the XI, but it only provides new suspension components for the rear? What are people using for the front shocks/springs? My front has blown seals and needs to be replaced.

I was also looking at H&R with some sway bars.

Any advice? I'm not a suspension guy but I know enough to know that my car drives likea minivan and must be improved.

I went with H&R coilovers for my e92 XI and saw a huge improvement on how the car drove and handled, but my friend spent extra and got KW V1 for his e90 XI and that is a much better coilovers because it offers more adjustments, I'd say go with KW

So you would recommend kw v1? I had thought the h&r were superior. To be honest I'm not too interested in lots of adjustment. I just want to set it and forget it. The v1 will do this? Just upgrade to something better. 120k miles on stock equipment is showing.

I've had the H&R coils for around 9k miles. They are a great ride.
