Best suspension upgrade?

Just got my new rims installed.. 19x8 in the front and 19x10 in the back. I have the ZSP option on my 335I. Question is what is the best overall suspension upgrade outhere? Not going to the track but I do not want the car to handle worse either. Thanks.

There is no "best" suspension setup. There are a variety of options out there depending on what you want to do with the car.

If you are just looking for a drop, go with springs or a spring/shock combo. If you are interested in dialing in a specific ride height and dampening setting, go with a coilover setup. We have a ton of options that work with your car, anything from H&R Sport springs up to KW and Bilstein coilover systems depending on your budget and needs.

Well I am looking for a nice drop about another 1 inch with better handling without sacraficing to much ride quality.

Go with a spring setup in that case. Since you want similar to OEM ride quality, I'd recommend the H&R sports which give you a nice drop without a bone jarring ride.

Go with KW Variant 2, it is the absolute best suspension set up

get at least a rear sway bar as the rear sway bar is really weak. The front helps as well but the rear makes the biggest difference

Contact Mike or Ron at **********s, they will take good care of you
