What brands do you guys recommend? Bilstein PSS9 (as seen on VT's old 545i) or KW V2 (Knightcom and imsortabigdeals 530)


I would buy shocks to replace my worn out oem shocks but I want to drop the car a little bit more The gap in the front is itching me alot

but KW has dampening and self-leveling.

Sometimes i wonder what will to happen to my Hamann splitter when I get the coilovers.

Should I go another way: H&R race with Koni shocks?
