Want to lower my 435i, what are some good options?
I would like to go with a full coilover setup for adjustability. I have a 2015 F32 coming without the DHP package but with the m sport suspension.
I heard a lot about H&R, KW and Dinan, but what is good and reliable for the F32? |

For coilovers I would go with Bilstein or KW. I had both on my Audi S5 and preferred the Bilstein. My issue with KW is that the minimum drop is lower than what they advertise.
I am waiting for Bilstein to release something for the F36 Gran Coupe. That being said, I have read people have success with the Dinan springs in conjunction with the M Sport suspension. I would still do coilovers so the ride height can be dialed in. |

When you lower the car, do you need to get an alignment done afterwards? Or should you let the springs/coilovers settle in for awhile before getting one?
What about camber issues, because the more you lower your car, the more camber you have on your tires. I'm concerned about tire wear because run flats are not cheap. |

I have MPS which I find to be a bit too firm. And as USC2000 points out, I would like to have ride height adjustibility too (for looks!). I believe some decent coilovers from KW or Bilstein will be an improvement over stock if my previous experience is any indication.

I think DHP is able to provide you the adjustibility, but I am not sure what's the range you can adjust with. For me, I do prefer the DHP over aftermarket coil-overs. Too bad I didn't know the function of the DHP after I took the delivery.
