I was surprised at how few miles I put on the M6 over the last year.
Total mileage is 32172 after 3 years.

The Dinan suspension changes are great. The Monoballs are by far the best suspension upgrade I have made
I have Eibach springs, so my setup is not a complete Dinan Stage 3 suspension.
The Eibach springs make the car look much better, but degrade ride quality. I'm torn between getting Dinan springs or going with KW coilovers -- KW is rather expensive, and Dinan has reduced their prices (slightly).
