want to pick up some springs for my 2011 135i and looking for some suggestions... i'd like ~1-1.75 inch drop... not too much because i live in manhattan and there are too many potholes... any advice would be appreciated... thanks!!

H&Rs have a more aggressive drop in comparison to Eibachs. But not by much.

Tire rack did a comparison using a E46 328i

I'm running h&r's and love them, check out my sig to see what they look like. Keep in mind that the ground wasn't level so the rear is a little higher than it's supposed to be. I chose h&r over eibach's because the drop was a little more and the h&r's give a raked drop unlike the level drop eibach's give. There's an official picture thread of all the different springs on 1Addicts.com, check it out it really helped me in my decision.

Btw I'm running vmr staggered vb3's with the stock runflats and I get NO rubbing at all.
