Wow....that's a great, clean look! The Gunmetal really works well with EBII!
Did you notice any difference in body roll with the installation of Dinan Springs? |

It's hard to tell exactly without going back to a stock setup for comparison. I do feel like it's been reduced though. It's still not as flat as it would be with coilovers and larger sway bars, but I think it's a great compromise for a primarily street driven car.

Looks amazing. Did you install the extra handling kit by Dinan as well or just their Springs?
Anyway you can do a full write up of your DIY? It would be great to have an F22 specific guide to refer to. |

Thanks. Yes, I installed the handling kit as well. I'm not sure how much more I can describe the process. If I'm in there again for some reason, I'll take some pics and write something up.

Yeap, the sale was what pushed me over the edge. I was still considering the H&R before that since they were cheaper.

Thanks! I like it more every time I go out in the garage and see it.

I don't remember having an issue with any electrical hookups. I can't really remember, but nothing stands out.

Very nice looking car, snodgrass23, congratulations!
FWIW, here is my 228i with the Dinan springs, bump stops and 15mm spacers F/R. I wish I had the talent/experience to do the install myself but I do not, so am fortunate to have a superb indie BMW tuner shop nearby. Their work is immaculate. I never thought I would like this mod as much as I do. I find the drop perfect; very much more and it can look like something broke. More importantly -- to me, anyway -- the effect on handling has been very significant, especially alongside the extra power put out by the tune. The car does not understeer anything like the way it did, enabling me to brake later approaching sweeping corners and stay on the gas longer. I am really gratified by the dialing out of body roll, lean and dive. The car is much livelier and more sensitive to inputs; it corners flatter, when you hit the gas it picks up very quickly and positive brake input (both applying brakes and lifting off) feels like sports car dynamics should. The power is getting put down on the road rather than getting dissipated in too soft a suspension setup. It's a fantastic mod.
