Dinan Stage 1 Suspension Group Buy

[My-M5-CT'09]

Lunker325,

Thanks so much for this information. I think it might be best and most respectful at this point to start a new thread for just the springs and find out from your dealer their preferred method of contact for moving this forward. In the new thread, may I recommend including the process members should follow. For example, will you gather all the required contact info of each interested member (via PM) and submit a single corespondence with the dealer to follow up with each directly for payment. Or should each of us contact your dealer and reference this 5+ group buy on just the Dinan springs to get the group price.

I am also dropping out of this group buy as Lunker's method achieves the same package at a lower cost.

This looks like a much better deal, I was not aware that you could pick up the springs separately.

I will definitely be placing an order for these Konis on Tirerack right now. Can anyone tell me what else is needed (besides the springs); I know the mounts, is there anything else?

Also, where can we purchase the springs? .. Would definitely be interested in a group buy for that

Does anyone have any data on the spring rates F/R, are they linear or progressive? The deal looks very attractive.

I'll be setting up a GB on the springs through my dealer. We only need 5 people to get them down to $400.

Not sure on this, but there is alot of data on the main board, search for "Dinan springs".

Looks like my pass strut is leaking so may as well upgrade. Anybody know for sure if the tirerack ones are the same as those spec'd for the Dinan package?

[olegd88]

From all the reading I have done, they are all the same. They just have the springs and tell you which setting to set the shocks to, thats it.

Is this thread / GB back on ? Any other parts I would need to install the Stage 1?

[sfcacique]

Is the Stage One buy still on ?

[Lawaia]

GB cancelled as of now; not enough interest.

I spoke to dinan, and was told the shock are custom valved etc... The shocks used to be made by another company for dinan. Are the springs progressive, what are the rates?
