Ok guys...I still am new to this but I want to lower my car (530xi)...i know people with Xi's will appreciate this and I want to know people's opinions who have Xi's.

Possible Options
1. Springs - H&R Springs
-The problem with springs from what i hear is it gives a bouncy ride and being from NY, where the roads are rough, this will kill my struts
2. Springs with struts and sway bar
-Issue here is i want to utilize the H&R springs, but unsure as to the right struts (maybe Koni) and sway bar (H&R)
NEED YOU OPINION ON THIS ONE AND WHERE I COULD MAYBE GET THE PARTS (website or contact person)
3. COILOVERS - KW COILOVERS

I'd like to do a whole suspension revamp (springs, sway bar and struts) since if you put the springs on you have to take the struts off and realign the suspension. Anyone's help or opinion on this one will be greatly appreciated.
