Depends on what kind of drop you want.

For a moderate drop check out the Eibach Prokits or H&R sports.

If you want most aggressive drop, the H&R Race will work but you will need to roll your fenders because it will rub.

FYI...do not get the H&R race they are not design for E93. I've learned this the hard way and stock with one. It's too low at the rear and when the top is down, the car looks nasty.

The pro kit is perfect for the E93

Yeah, I have seen many pics of the pro kit on E92's and it just didn't lower it enough for my taste....so I went with the H&R sport. But the E93 is heavier enough that the pro kit settles nice....

I actually was set on getting the pro kit after looking at the above pic so many times...but I finally realized (thank God) that it was an E93 and that's the reason it sits better.

This car is Rodrigo's. My car will look almost exactly the same soon...cause I ended up buying the exact same wheels...just waiting on them to come in..

Correct Springs

E93 springs are tough. DO NOT just assume e92 springs will work. H&R sways or M3 E93 sways might be a good place to start instead.

That is not my car..it's rodrigo's....but I do have the same color E92 with that exact same wheel setup on order right now..so my car will look almost exactly the same very soon...

Anyway...those are 235/30/19 F 265/35/19 R 19X8.5 F 19X9.5 R 19X8.5 F +30+35 and I'm getting the same setup except with Toyo T1R tires...he has General UHP's.....

Those are Linea Corse Z2's hyperblack with polished lip BTW...
