    I think your best bet would be Bilstein sports shocks with a lowering spring from Eibach, H&R, or even Bavarian Auto's own signature line of springs. This setup with your 15" rims (you have about twice as much sidewall as I have with my 17" rims) would be ideal for your car. You would get the look/drop you want and dial in a nice, firm but subtle ride.

        You might want to try KW's suspension kit. Egk2 has the 60/40 drop on his coupe and it looks great. I am probably going to do the 60/40 eventually on my vert. If you are only going to run 15's though I would go for the 60/60 kit, make sure it cabrio. I am going to be running 17's so I think the 60/40 would be better for me cause I don't want any rubbing.

            Looks like a nice cabby, interesting way of reupholstering those fronts. The seat back 'back' is like non existent.

              thx for the kudo's guys.
              So.. I was told this weekend that since the cabrio needs to "flex" more because the support & frame of a hardtop is stronger and not to get too stiff of a suspension because if the car can't "flex" something will "break".
              So now I have no idea what shocks and lowering springs will give me "flex" and best handling. I am more interested in the look of a drop not so much the handling improvements. I kind of like the stock feeling of the car now, escpecially crusing on the highway and over bumpy roads.
