Whats the best springs for koni shocks?

Hi im noob for tuning a car

Can you guys help me on this

Im trying to lower e92 328i xdrive and going to buy koni shocks

Heres the question,

1.i will use koni yellow shocks (8741 1535L + 8741 1535R for front) and (8240 1236 sport for rear), should i get h&r spring (50494-2) or eibach spring (2091. 140)?

2.do i have to buy sway bars too? Or is it just an optional?

Looks like the tide is going with the Eibach/Koni combo right now. XI's already have larger sway bars. A square tire setup vs. staggered will handle more balanced, but a staggered setup can be dialed in with the help of a rear sway bar, and/or spacers (cheaper) in front to widen the stance which reduces under-steer.

Sway bars are optional. H&R Sports are a more aggressive spring than Eibach...I have them with Bilstein shocks and love the set up

I dont expect for any performance increase nor decrease
Just want to drop my car a lot!
So r u saying eibach spring + koni will do fine?
Cause on **********s, they didnt list springs for xi...its only for 328i
Im hoping this eibach spring (2091.140) is okay for xdrive as well?
And also whats strut? Is this also requirment to lower cars? or is it just kind of a back up for performance increase?
