335i M Sport with Standard Suspension

Hi guys! Here in Brazil, we're getting all our F30's with S225A - Standard Suspension. My VIN is F269429 (just to make sure I get correct advice).

Problem is that BMW did this here for a reason... OUR ROADS SUCK. I recently had H&R Sport Springs for my 328i Sport (also with standard suspension) + 20" wheels with regular tires. It was fairly comfortable, but during high speeds and ondulations, for my taste, it felt under damped. It wasn't bad at all, but needed more damping and control!

I'd like to upgrade my S225A suspension with something that will give me a bit more control for body roll and help the floatiness... I wonder if the bilstein shocks are designed for the Sport/MSport springs? I am going to email them also. I was thinking of upgrading the struts only. I don't want to lower the car too much, but just a tad lower than standard suspension. What are my options?

I'll bet there are some members here who have swapped out their stock passive Sport/M Sport dampers and springs for aftermarket coil overs who may be happy to sell to you... this setup will be about half an inch lower, and stiffer - but still probably fine for your bad roads.
(Better to keep dampers and springs matched if possible)

Are there any F30 coilover kits with front height adjustment? I remember seeing a Bilstein model that could raise the front when needed?
