Megans, BCs, Kidos are all really the same, no huge differences. I say get the ones with the best price you can. I would PM Dracula if I were you.
:disapointed:
You getting rid of your ride?
Whatever you purchase make sure you have your choice of rates. I liked my BC's and switched to Kido's simply for the reason it was easier to change my front spring rates. The ride now is sooo much better (I believe Handy Andy is also running the same front spring rate as I am) Little more stiff but it feels so much more planted. Somewhere slightly over the H&R's in the front and less soft than the BC's. Makes a huge difference. The BC's at 8 never felt quite stiff enough, comfortable and sporty but just needed little bit more......
not certain yet, but i need something faster possibly fx50s or e92 m3

Go with the regular 50. At least there will be a chance of lowering it in the future.

I'm going to be running on my stock 18 for now how low you think I should go. And also would I need a camber kit cause I don't want camber wear

You don't need a camber kit. Just a regular alignment after the drop.
:plus1:
Do you to align even if you get like drop springs and not coil overs? Just wondering and what's the difference with springs and coils besides being able to adjust the coils.

If you go low enough, you won't be able to bring the camber back to OEM range without a kit (for the rear at least, front has camber plates). But it won't matter because you can easily bring the toe back into spec. That's the primary cause of premature tire wear. Most people just think it's camber because when they drop their cars, the camber and toe go out of spec. They see the negative camber and think that's causing the uneven tire wear, but it's mostly the toe which is harder to see. My rear camber is ~-2.5 and -2.6 and fronts are -1.8; when I drive through water, the outer 2" of my tire doesn't leave tracks since it's off the ground. But tire wear is still good. When I have my car aligned, the shop just adjusts the toe.
Of course, it will wear faster than stock, but it will take a long time and it's not as bad as most people think. Unless of course you're going for "stance" and run stupid camber like -6.

Anytime you lower your car, you should align it. Changing the height will always change both the toe and camber. With springs it's just less of a drop so it may not matter as much; but your alignment will change.
