Hi my name is Peter and i have an 07 BMW 530I and wanted to know if anyone could recommend a good set of lowering suspensions?

Would you prefer coilovers?

Im getting mixed reviews from local aftermarket shops and would hope if you can give me some feedback. Thanks

These are Lowering Springs options people have suggested:

i am using KW2SC (street comfort) coilovers
very good, suits me as family car, and yet gives me firm ride.

coilovers have been majorly favored, especially since they would replace the whole spring/shock assembly. most popular and recommended coilovers would be the KWs. for springs, it usually comes down between the H&R sport springs and eibach pro-kit springs.

If you get just springs, dont do it. It doesnt feel as good. I bought the bilsteins as well. From just vogtland lowering springs, to springs AND bilstein SPs, it was a night and day difference. I LOVE IT! Installing coil spring conversion from air suspension on my allroad tomorrow. I can't wait. Bilsteins rock!

If u want adjustability, get coilovers. If not, do what i did is get the struts and springs. Dont get just springs.
