Hello all!
My '03 M3 is about 3 weeks old now. I'd like to lower her stance just a bit, but I don't want the ride to get any stiffer if possible.
Is there anything you all can recommend? I've heard the Eibach Pro-Kit springs (with stock shocks) are good for my needs, or should I go with a fully adjustable setup like the Bilstein PSS9s?
Thanks for any help!

It is not a good idea to change only the springs. The struts were not made for this and they wear out quickly. You will have a better ride with the PSS9 since they are adjustable in height and firmness.

I say go with the PSS9's. I have them on my car and i dont care what anybody says, i feel a difference between the adjustments. I put it to the softest setting, and it fellt smoother than stock. Hope his helps:)

PSS9 is a suspension system made by Bilstein. Performance Suspension System with 9 dampening adjustment level. basically you can adjust height by screwing the perch up or down and you have 9 settings to choose the feel of the ride soft or hard.

I suggest Ground Controls coilovers with 550 lbs front Eibachs and 500 rears with RSM's and front camber plates. With the SA Koni's, this is a great set up. I have run it for about a month now and even some passengers have commented on how good the ride is for a coilover which tends to be harsh in general...
