What to choose?

So it appears now all the major aftermarket suspension manufacturers have models for Xdrive now...Im wondering what to go with as I have never bought a suspension for a car. Im leaning towards doing the entire job and just getting coils since I have DHP, but then again I dont need to adjust the suspension after I get about an inch or so drop all around.

Should I go with
-KW
-Bilstein
-Bc racing

...or should I do something similar to SEDANCLAN and do shocks and springs? Would that be enough of an advantage over DHP, since I'm basically throwing 1k in the garbage?

This car wont be tracked...but it is tracked daily at the same time LOL Just looking for as much go kart as possible. The one thing that continues to bother me about this car is the body roll and some shaking at over 100mph. I can live with it, but why.

If you want a go-cart, go with the MPS! The car does not budge.

Edit: Nevermind. You have xdrive. I'm not sure the MPS works with it. Sorry!

If you have DHP I would just get springs. I would think if you changed out the coil overs the DHP would no longer function and then that was a big waste of money. I could be wrong as I don't have DHP, but seems logical. But if you insist I would get the KW. I have H&R and they are a little soft and tend to bounce on really bad roads more than my liking. The BC racing are linear springs so I would think the ride in those would be awful compared to a progressive spring. Never played with Bilstein but never heard a bad thing about them so that could be an option, but my gut would tell me to do the KW.
