You'll find HLS equipped as either standard equipment or as a manufacturer option on many supercars, these systems let you keep razor sharp handling so you don't need to worry about the drawbacks of an airspring system. You also won't lose as much interior space as if you went with an airbag system and needed a tank and a compressor system.
While you will still need a reservoir for the hydraulic fluid, the system is far smaller, simpler, and less noisy.
I would suggest talking to KW, they don't currently make a kit for the M2, but they are awesome at putting together custom solutions. It won't be cheap, but if you only need it on your fronts, it may be equivalent to a full air system.

Thank you for the response. Yes! a hydraulic lift system, wasn't sure on the name. It's good to know it doesn't compromise handling, now I'm definitely sold on it. I spoke to KW like you suggested and they have a universal kit that'll fit any car, in fact. It's priced far too high for just a lift kit, not to mention the coilovers on top of that, I'm looking around a $7k suspension setup. KW lift kit might have to wait for another day.

Trust me, this is what you need!

Much better budget friendly option! Thank you so much I'm already in contact with these guys. Trying to get all 4 sides with a tankless option.
Thank you

But either way, this kind of system is what OP is looking for.

They do have a tankless option, of course a compressor you need to store. Still Better than a tank however.
