Good site for suspension replacement?

I have an 08 135i and the front suspension just gave out. Was wondering if there are any good sites to get something along the lines of stock replacements? I found this one below. Just looking for something already together that can essentially be slapped right in. Might only keep the car another year or two so not sure I want to do suspension all around. I also don't need it to be sporty, that's why I have the M. Thanks! p.s. I did do a search.

ECS Tuning is a good place IMO. I've had nothing but good luck with them.
Follow this link --> https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-13...sion/Cup_Kits/

Your best option, value per product, is probably going to be the B12 kit IMO.

Here's what a fully-assembled B12 kit looks like:

Two problems with what you linked. First and foremost, $150/pair front is too good to be true or worth a crap. The other is you'll be imbalanced with the rear end since it has 135i springs and shocks which are sport for 1's.
