BMW Newbie with a question

Hi Folks

I'm from Canada.
I ordered a 2013 328 xdrive with premium and executive package few weeks ago and have a few questions to ask.
I'm use to modding cars and my last car was a 2010 vw golf.

I'm interested in dropping my car so there is little to no wheel gap.
With the vw, it was just remove the stock suspension and put springs/coilovers and that was it.

I did some research and so far there seems to be only H&R springs that are available and no coil overs.

My questions to you guys are

1. Can I just buy springs/coil overs and drop it? Or there are sensors in the current stock suspension that i'm not aware off that needs to be relocated to the aftermarket setup.

2. People with H&R sport springs or super sport springs, how's the ride quality. Is it bouncy or is it as close to OEM ride quality.

Thanks

Max

There are coils out there... I'm pretty sure mod bargains.com has them.

This is my first bimmer too, came from vws/audis and Im installing the h&r sport springs in my 335i asap. From what I've heard they ride very similar to oem but less body roll. I went with sport because super sports would be too low for daily driving imo (had cars dumped before and they never seem to last haha)
