Sachs Coilovers on the F30

So i've been running on H&R springs for little over 2 years now and the ride is starting to become really uncomfortable. I've been searching for coilovers, and I've seen everyone use BC Coils, Bilstein, and KW's but has anyone ran on Sachs? I tried looking things up about people using it but i cant find any info on it, anyone has any experience with them?

OP, what's prompting you to explore Sachs coilovers? Specific capabilities?

Well at first i was looking for coilovers that can be street driven and do the occasional track day/ canyon drive. I wanted to BC's but i heard mixed opinions about it, Bilstein and KW have the entry level ones but i want some adjustability, but i saw on FCP Euro that they had Sachs for a good price and it offers the same adjustability like the Bilstein B16 and the KW V2 without breaking the bank on coilovers. So I'm curious on how well they run.

What's your budget for the coilovers upgrade?

Between 1200$-2000$ i'm trying to find something that isnt so cheap but something thats not completely overkill if that is a way of saying it.

I had great experience with KW Street Comfort coilovers. The total budget - including installation and 4 wheel alignment - will be very close to $2K, may be slightly over.

Worth exploring.
