I would do the KW V2s, we have had a lot of success with these coils for street apps and is what we are putting on our Project E92 335i. They offer a great range of adjustment and are a coilover that is capable of being driven on everyday or taken to the occasional track/autox event. I find them to be the perfect solution for someone who drives their car regularly on the street but wants a sportier setup that is track worthy.

My vote goes to the KW V2's. Absolutely love the way they ride. Close to stock sport suspension.
I've heard H&R coilovers run a bit stiff. You can only adjust height, but no dampening. Ask BMWRINO, he has H&R coilovers.
