Been reading a ton of posts but of course nothing quite matches what i'm looking for.

My goals are simple:

1. keep the suspension and ride close to the stock sport i have now

2. lower the front gap ~ half way. i dont want this to look like a teenage dream, i just want it to look a bit more aggressive.

3. i'm not doing this for performance, i'm happy with the stock sport suspension and i'm not going to race it, so i dont want to spend $2500+ for the dreamy KW setup

So...how do i update the front and meet my objectives? Some options:

A) H&R springs/struts - looks like the ride is really harsh with H+R. the height also looks really low?

Eibach - what alternatives have we to consider here?

C) Other ideas?

Thanks!

For the rear i'll use INPA to lower it, so not an issue.

ISC Comfort coilovers, less that $1,000 and you can adjust your own height.

Just be prepared to wait at least a couple weeks. I've been waiting over a month for mine now.

seems like a pretty sweet deal:
ISC BMW 5-Series E60 E61 32-way Adjustable Coilovers

Just make sure they have them in stock. Also this setup is more of the sports oriented. If you want a more comfortable ride, you'll need to get the comfort version(lower spring rates, longer piston travel) which I didn't see on their site.

I only see it on ISC's site.

Very nice. It's slightly cheaper there but I see it's still about 3 weeks out total time. I wish I would've known about this before. It's been a nightmare dealing directly with ISC in terms of lead time/communications/etc. so far. I just hope the coilovers meet my expectations when I get them.
