Advice please-- newbie here

I have e90 335 non-sport and am considering some suspension mods. I really don't want to sacrifice too much ride comfort but definitely want better handling in the corners. I also don't want to lower the car too much. I've searched and gotten alot of great info-- it seems my best options would be:
Koni FSD's alone with stock springs
Koni FSD / eihbach kit
HR rear sway bar alone or with above
OEM ZSP shocks/springs
New non-runflat tires
Any other solutions that would get me improved handling without sacrificing too much ride comfort? I'm sure that coilovers are better but I think that might be overkill for me-- I'm not going to track and probably wouldn't fool with making adjustments. Would love to hear what you think works best for my needs on e90 (upgrading non-sport suspension to ZSP quality or slightly better) and also curious what the labor would be to install any of these. Would love to hear any experiences with above options. Thanks alot

Koni FSD / Eibach kit will be your best bet for comfort, better handling and a bit lower ride.

If you want adjustability, then go to a coilover kit. PSS9 or KW V2.

And add the rear sway and you will be all set.

Thanks-- looks like Koni FSD / Eibach is perfect for me-- How much more would the rear swaybar improve the ride with this setup? Any major reason to go with Eibach sway to match the springs or would HR swaybar be fine. Any difference between the two?
