I used Eibach pro-kit on my e90 335i m-suspension and I wasn't really satisfy with it. KW EDC was good on my 1m, but I don't want to put the coilovers instead on adaptive suspension, because I like the adjustability with the button inside.
The use of the car will be DD plus track days. Forged Rays 19 wheels with CUP2 tires.
Tnx.
its absolutely going to kill the balance. springs only will always kill the balance, regardless of what car they are on. specifically lowering 1 inch.

-reduces suspension travel aka makes shocks work well outside of range. eating up half your travel at static height (typically 2-2.5 inches of damper travel before bottoming out)
-spring rates not appropriately matched to dampers
-ruins factory suspension geometry by lowering car this much
