I think Bilstein makes one

H&R cupkit wouldn't be a good choice IMO. They're very soft. IE3's w/ bilstein sports or koni would be a nice setup. Just be extra careful if you go this route or else you'll be replacing oilpans frequently.

BavAuto makes springs that will lower about 2 inches but they are soft which to some isn't a bad thing. I put a set of them on my dad's car and he doesn't have any complaints.

Coilovers are the only way to get real Low

Anyone know where I could get that springs would give a 2" drop on the front and maybe 1.3" on the back.
Will be running Bilstein B8 shocks and M3 type arbs.
Don't want it too hard I suppose since roads can be kinda bumpy here but still want it to be very satisfying in the turns.

I had a Cup kit in it, but toook it out straight away again as it was too low on the back and way too soft/bouncy

I've been looking into some KW setup's... IE 60/40 (60mm front 40mm rear) but thats just cause i want that look, they have many other setups with different lowering heights

Is your car a daily driver? If it is I would not go more than an Inch and a half. Your car will ride so horribly. If you do, put strut tower braces on the front and rear watch the profile of you tires, thinner, equals hard ride, thicker, equals softer ride. Work with the math on this one, you still want travel with the shocks. Coil overs would be the most optimum way to enjoy the ride and have superb handling.
