Default F-Sport Suspension or Coils?

I'm planning on getting the F-sport sways(front& rear), as well as the ch- brace. As of now, I'm getting the F-sport springs and shocks. I don't think the drop will be enough for me though.
I'm aiming for the best balance of form and function. I believe the full F-Sport suspension is amazing, better then my old 335i by miles.
So will I get the same, better, or worse performance with Coils? I don't want a slammed looked. I will be putting 19's, and will have a WALD kit in the near future. So being too low that I scrape everywhere is not the look I'm going for.

Long story short FORM=Function is what I'm aiming for, or close to it at least...

Thanks in advance!

If the best overall performance is your goal then coilovers with linear springs will beat compromise-crappy progressive springs every time (and all non-coilover springs other than OEM regular and sport package for the 2IS are progressive as far as I know)

The chasis brace'll be some dead weight on the car honestly in terms of measurable performance gain....sway bars are a huge help though.
