You and me both.

This would make for a great read in one of the Bimmer magazines, instead of the usual information-less boring articles. Please no more writing about taking a road trip in a BMW...NOBODY CARES! Head to the track and compare both suspensions, that'll captivate lots of interest.

My guess is the BMW suspension is going to understeer as bad as the original. Why would BMW change it? I'm sure their kit just gives you more of the same. The aftermarket is free to do as it pleases, so my thinking is the Dinan will have a more neutral set-up. No one will know until track experiences with either/both kits is posted here.

So i am looking to possibly upgrade the suspension as well... def considering Dinan cause if I get the Stage II tune might as well stick with Dinan parts so they cover any potential problems. Anyone have any feedback from installing this mod?? Or would the KW v2's be a better route. I'm pretty noobish to understanding the whole suspension thing, besides putting on some sway bars on my old grand prix. Thanks guys!

how much would you guys think install would cost on the stage 2? they are quoting 12+ hours.
