BMW performance SSK vs Dinan
Looking to upgrade to an SSK on my 2009 N54, found a local seller who has a great deal on the Dinan SSK (used, the arm has a couple scratches but I am assuming no functional issues). He will also help me install it since he has done it many times. However, I don't wanna jump on this just because its a 'deal'.
I know the performance SSK reduces throw 80mm to 55mm, dinan says 8% on the website (~73%, doesn't even match the N55). Couldn't find any member reviews on the dinan :/. Does anyone have experience with the Dinan that they could share. Do you notice a difference from stock? How does it compare to performance SSK? Thanks! |

Why not just buy a new BMW Perf SSK ? It really is one of the best mods out there. Any used SSK will have some wear. ie oval-ing of the end links/bushings. This will lead to some slop. I would just order all the BMW Perf shift parts separately(vs the SSK kit) to save some bucks and be done with it. Be sure to replace the plastic bushing/bearing that the shift arm sits inside of. Also some down pipe gaskets as well - bc you will most likely need to drop your exhaust for the install. G.L.

+1 .. I love my BMW SSK. Reduces the throws by 25%. Nice positive shifts. Probably my best mod.

I went with a UUC which has pros and cons. I agree with Dackelone don't buy used. What type of driving are you expecting, ie DD=>little track=>track beast?
