I'm not sure yet. We put new KYB's on last year but left the springs alone. I talked to a guy at bavarian auto about putting lowering springs on with stock type KYB's, and he said it would work but the shocks will wear out faster (in 2-3 years). If thats the case, I'll just put the springs on since I don't want waste the KYB's($$$). I'm just worried that the shocks will bottom out and make noise? Any suggestions?

you could probably get away with an H&R OE sport spring, which will help a lot... but in general, you want to match the right spring with the right shock.

I run H&R sports with billy sports and its fine, although in general, the lower/stiffer spring, the better the car will handle.

Brilliantrot seems to be the signature color for a 318is :D.
