Eibach Pro Streets are pretty comfortable, provide good control and are sensibly priced........sure the dampers are made by KW :)

There's a lot of owners on the M3cutters forum that are using HSD coilovers and they all seem to be pleased with them for their road manners.

I was going to say KW too.

Bc's are great value. I have sold a few sets now and the quality seems there.

What will you be using the car for? Fast road, track, drift etc.

Let me know the model/year is your car and i will get you price & availability.

Excellent but a long way from comfortable.

As Tommy said the HSD ones are highly rated but check with the supplier about spring rates and make sure you can get ones that allow for greater comfort.

Do you actually need coilovers then? Why not get yourself some OE or slightly uprated dampers and something like Eibach lowering springs? Better ride and cheaper.
