recommend me a suspension

My 328 has about 160k on the original suspension, and it feels a bit floaty. I'm looking for a drop and stiffer stuts to put in. I don't want coil overs just springs/struts with a decent ride and good handling, I've had adjustable struts on another car before and like those. If you know any used ones for sale that'd be great too.

Just get Koni struts and shocks with H&R springs.

Another vote for the Koni's. I am very happy with mine paired up with Eibach springs.

+1. My Koni/Eibach setup handles better while being less harsh than OEM springs + OEM equivalent shocks/struts (Monroe).
