Springs and sport shocks. A good setup which I have myself is Bilstein Sport shocks and Bavauto springs. There is a possibility that you might need a camber kit, but doubtful.

Get Bilstein BTS, it's a kit and the cheapest way to do it.

you will not have camber problems unless your drop more than 1.5" ... or unless you throw some massive wheels on.

I have H&R sports and Bilstein sports and the ride quality is great.
