    Do these look good? need advice!

    I've been looking to spend around 1000$ on suspension including camber adjustment, but know close to nothing about suspensions. I want to be able to drop at least 2 inches everywhere, maybe tuck tire a bit, have a nice stance and good (can be stiff/solid but not harsh) ride quality, and be able to take corners without rolling.

    Basically daily drive-able 318is with sporty carasteristics and good looks.

    With this in mind I have these choices:
    Yellow DPS:


    if not:
    D2:


    BC:


    JOM (too cheap?):


    Thanks guys I appreciate input from any knowledgeable source or person! I just dont know enough about suspension to make my own choice on this one, thanks again!

    (Keep in mind that I am not racing this car, just spirited driving)

                      You love them for track days, but how about daily driving ride quality and comfort? Roads have potholes here, too

                        Don't forget that extra little bit of dough for new motor mounts, tranny mounts, diff bushing, rear subframe and trailing arm bushings and front control arm bushings.

                        If I were to recommend stuff, I say urethane CABS, RTABs, and rubber on everything else, except maybe rear subframe bushings.

                        As soon as you get more serious about that "spirited driving" stuff, you will rip motor mounts and such, just do it now.

                        Closing SOON!

                          its very good. You can ask for lighter spring rates from BC. The struts control the springs very well
