I trying to lower this summer and mom's going to be hooking me up with the price seeing it's my birthday...so price is no object...would the cattman coilovers be the best thing to put on my max...i was leaning towards the coilovers or just to go with the sprint and koni setup to get a nice 2" drop...any feedback would be helpful...thanks

You didn't say what year your Max is, but I'm guessing 4th or 5th gen. Yeah, Cattman Coilovers would be best for performance, but honestly unless you autocross, you would be hard pressed to feel the difference between those and Eibach/Konis. Plus, the lower your Max goes, the more the ride deteriorates (and the Max has a pretty lousy ride to begin with).

If money were no object, I would dump the Max and get a 330i instead! Heh..

well the year is in my sig...maybe i didn't phrase the question correct enough...

What would be a better decision for a suspension upgrade for normal driving conditions..Sprint/Koni, Eibach/Koni, or Cattman Coilovers...money is not an object because my mom should be buying them for my birthday...

Thanks for the suggestions..

Damn!!! wish my mom would buy me some expensive car toys... yeah get the cattmans hurry and call you might still be able to get the 2nd gen for 200 bucks less 1600 instead of 1800. Save Mom some money... and tell her i'll expect my check for the consult this week

For normal driving (Much better performance which is close to the Eibach/Koni setup but feels more like the stock not harsh setup)...I would go for the H&R/Koni setup...
