Since I "upgraded" the wife to the Range Rover, I am now using the m35 as my daily-driver. I have a factory non-sport m35. I want to make it feel "sportier" so what Spring Set to buy?

I'm not sure of what brands of springs to suggest. Though if your wanting a tighter feeling car it would be best to go with an adjustable coilover set-up. Maybe even opt for adjustable struts to fine tune your dampening rate. I personally don't think lowering springs will drastically make your car handle that much better. Of course a lower center of gravity will enduce better handling characteristics, but will not fine tune your ride quality. Just my opinion, but lowering springs might get you close to what your aiming for.Also change out the 18" wheels/ tires to the 19" wheels/ tires. I would suggest different sway bars too, but I don't think any aftermarket companies went that far with our M's.Good luck with your suspension change.

I have the 19 inch OEM sport wheels and tires off my car right now and am looking into selling them and getting some aftermarket wheels. Let me know if you are interested.

Moving to the 19's will provide a bit sportier ride and how I tell a sport from a non sport is by the wheels. It is the most recognized difference between the two.

I tend to notice the blacked out headlights right away too though. Just me maybe...

I already have the 19 Sport Rims with Toyo T1R. I am looking to make the handling alot tighter. I was looking at the Megan Spring set, and am looking for a sway bar.
