i love the ride, more feel of the road and tighter, certainly feel the bumps a little more and reminds me more like the 335 feel, once I get the coilovers, hoping for more response.

You can do both ways, coilovers are an adjustable setup up for height and stiffness and are used for better performance. Just changing the springs lowers it but you are stuck with that feel and harshness. thats my understanding atleast from all the reading Ive done. they are much more expensive but apparently worth it to do it that way from the beginning.
