I see people putting s13 parts on their q. I see people using s14/15.
Awwwwwwwwww. I am lost. I am trying to not go coil over but use keyboard struts front and back. Stronger upper and lower control arms and something call tow and tie or tension rods.
Please some help me go through this or send me a web site. I can't even fins replacement parts for the suspension on my q45 2nd gen.

Lower yes. But not too much. I don't want bags afraid of coilovers due to the weight but would like to drop about 2 inches for the 19 inch rims I want on it and the body kit I am putting on it. But I want something strong.

Coilovers are actually a smart choice - weight is not an issue, as each application is designed for the car it will be installed on.
Adjustability sounds like it will be a necessity with what you want to achieve, so there's another plus for going with coilovers rather than simply springs and shocks.

Funny, the BC coilovers are pretty slammed on the BMW forums, but there they go up against Ohlins and AST among other good brands like KW, Bilstein and Koni.

Yep. That's because most BMW owners are debt-riddled douches who think price equates to quality.
FWIW, of the three latter brands you mentioned, two are rebranded. Interesting the things you learn when you go to AAPEX every year and meet the Taiwanese and Chinese people who actually BUILD the products that they sell to these companies.
