Dinan Springs

Well Dinan is finally selling all of it's suspension components individually and the springs offer a decent half inch drop. Do you all think that running the Dinan springs will wear out the stock struts and shocks prematurely? thanks in advance for the input!

I would think that would be fine.

To comply with BMW Club Racing Stock class rules (until we get Dinan suspension coming up), what we had to do is use KW springs that we cut about 1 turn off the bottom with the OEM front struts.

We actually raced the car like that and believe it or not, at Infineon, Ralph broke the old H-Stock track record by about 3 seconds a lap!

So while I would imagine the Dinan springs will be stiffer than OEM, I don't think they'd be stiff to the point that the OEM shocks/struts couldn't work with them. May not be optimal (it is best if the springs and shocks are matched up), but should be okay.
