For those of you who has the Dinan Suspension
Can you let me know how much the car is lowered with their spring and shock setup?

Thanks.

There is no lowering. Maybe a 1/16th of an inch or so if anything. You will do best with coilovers, if you would like a lowered beast.

Cheers.

Thanks for the info. I am still interested in the Carbon plenum. Im just looking into suspension first. Hope they will still be available to me in a month or so, with our "deal" of course.

Daniel,

Are you sure about that? I have the Dinan S3 suspension kit and I am definately lower than stock. Didn't take measuraments, butit closed my fender gap considerably. Now I wish I took some measurements . . .

Dinan suspension definitely sits lower than stock. Search the board.

Dinan suspension is definitely lower. Parked next to me at work most days is a stock'03 Beast. It is pretty easy to line them up and compare. I would estimate there is close to an inch difference by looking at the space in the wheel wells.
Regards,
Jerry
