I have the before pic, but haven't yet snapped one with the drop. I'll get it up ASAP, as I know I've asked for pics on this site.

I assume the tires will wear somewhat more quickly, but it's a small price to pay.

In regards to the suspension, it's just awesome. The ride is slightly harsher over big bumps, but in normal driving it feels almost as soft as stock. The most noticable diffence isn't the springs, it's the dampening. The ride is so controlled. There is no floatiness at high speed and less jumping when the car is loaded in a corner and hits some bumps. The springs are definitely tighter and reduce roll. The car is at least 1/2 inch lower front and rear. I'm not going to compare this setup to coil-overs or anything other than stock, but I'm VERY happy with the package. I can't wait for my first track event in this baby at Pocono in April. Hopefully I can kill my runflats so I feel better about replacing them.

Now the big problem is that I still can't hear it as well as I want. I'm still waiting on my black tips (I had him send back the chrome to get the black), which were supposed to get to my dealer in CT this week. I'll call him now and see what's up.
Nice to hear. Yea I'm torn between stage 2 and 3, but it's good to hear from someone who doesn't work for Dinan. I was sold on the package after they took me out for a ride. If only this was the 135i sports package.

GRRRRrrrrr. My dealer, and Scott from Dinan just called to say that they had a vendor issue and had delay shippments for 2 weeks. Mine won't ship to the east coast until April 10th. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, but that's annoying. Radiant, you're lucky to have gotten yours already.

I live about 20 minutes away from their Morgan Hill HQ so it's pretty easy for me to grab things from them when they are available.


I'll attempt to get some audio/video of the exhaust tomorrow.

Dont know how great the value is there. Spend allot of cash for a badge and underperforming mods compared to what else is on the market.
