It isn't just that they grabbed a 2-series part off the shelf and jacked the price. I'm not a huge Dinan fan (and I think they also just got sold or bought out), but it doesn't seem unfair for them to want to recoup devo costs.
I appreciate that argument but I'm skeptical that there was that much R&D, and if they wanted to just charge me an extra $20 for the "compatible BMW bumpstops;" I would have paid that.
I'm very happy with the springs but the attempted profit on the "Supplemental Ride Quality and Handling Kit," is too much.

For those interested:
Rears are part # 33536762722
Fronts are part # 31331138814

I noticed that ECS also sells 'scratch and dent' springs but they look like what you just bought. Maybe some others got swapped?
