Most springs will be the same. Go with the best deal. H&R, Eibach, RD Sport. Spacers will not change your handling.

We've got a lot of customers going with RD Sport and B&G springs, both provides a pretty aggressive drop and a comfortable ride.
Here is an M3 with B&G springs and Macht Schnell 18/15 mm spacers: Here is an M3 with the RD Sport Springs: Let me know if you have any other questions, we usually have both sets of springs in stock and spacers in stock! |

If you are looking for the better performance springs, my vote is for RDSport. They focus more on performance rather than aesthetics, although the stance is great also.

I gotta put in my .02 for Dinan...I have been very happy with their stuff over the years, and supported by BMW, which is nice from a maintenance standpoint

I had Eibach loved them. very good ride quality. The drop is enough to make a difference but not so much where you have to crawl around the streets bc the car is so low.

They are lower than many others which should compromise performance by severely over extending the range of the stock dampers. What am I missing?

I love my Dinan suspension. Subtle but noticeable drop, more than the ZCP. Ride quality and handling are superb, oem travel maintained. I was running MS spacers, 12r, 15f but I removed them because I'd rub on dips in the rear with a passenger. Stock tires and Dinan's street alignment. Although, a little more negative camber (track alignment) probably would've fixed the rub.

Little bit more expensive/extensive than springs, but I really like my KW Sleeve-over kit. Really like the adjustability

If you have a competition package, stay away from the Eibach springs, it will actually raise the rear of your car slightly and is replacing the springs with a softer springs too.
The best and better matched springs for ZCP cars are the H&R springs. Stay away from RD Sport.

Quite the opposite actually. RD Sport is better for the looks over the actual handling aspects.
