Appreciate all the feedback.
I think the biggest concern I have with springs is that I'm currently running OEM M3 wheels & tire sizes. No issues right now because I have plenty of clearance, but dropping the car may likely result in some rubbing and I want to avoid that. I don't mind the look of the car, the larger diameter wheels/tires help fill in some of the gap in my wheel arches.
So from what I read (here and elsewhere) so far:
- Bilstein B4 are essentially OEM replacements - may be ok
- Bilstein B6 can be used with non-sport springs (need to confirm) and may provide superior comfort and performance
- spring/shock combos are likely not going to work for me because they will lower my car (need to confirm if I have any clearance to lower even a bit)
- coilovers are expensive and may not last as long (got a great quote for custom Broadway Statics, which I understand can be as "soft" as I'd like, and maintain decent ride height - but is still twice the cost of replacing shocks alone)
