I am looking to purchase a Sunbelt Cam kit along with the M50 race valvespring kit from Bimmerworld. My lifters need to be replaced as well, and I was wondering if hydraulic lifters would be okay/safe for that setup? VAC makes some solid lifters, but I would prefer to use stock-style lifters to avoid valve adjustments, etc.
Thanks in advance for the input.

i'd stay hydraulic.
solid lifters would be for more rev's, but a stock bottom end doesn't last much past 7200 rpm.
I wouldn't even do the springs, unless you are just dying to upgrade.

No, I really didn't want to drop an extra $1100 just for the spring kit. I just want to make sure that my motor will be solid and happy. The less money I have to spend, the better. The cams and software is already $2000, and I've only got for $1700 in parts to sell. Time to start selling furniture.

2000 for cams and software? If it was me I'd save that toward a supercharger fund

Solid lifters need to be dialed in and checked pretty regularly. IMO, stay hydraulic as long as you can.

What problem with the sunbelt cams are you talking about?
