With that being said, I'm probably going to get the Dinan lowering springs. The ones that give the LEAST amount of drop. I just want to get rid of the gap in the front and even everything out. I don't like lowered cars as I had the H&R springs on my 535i and that sucker bounced like a lowrider.
I have a few questions for you guys with the Dinan springs and would appreciate it if someone could nicely take the time to answer:
1. How much did you pay? I was being quoted $2200 (before 10% discount) at the BMW dealership. Springs cost what they cost, but I think they are charging too much for install. Should I buy the springs and have my local Indie guy install?
2. Ride quality: Do you bounce around a lot? Can you leave it on "sport" suspension setting and still have a decent ride quality on city streets?
3. In other thread, I saw guys that have 10mm spacers in the front and 12mm spacers in the rear. Is this the preferred setup? Why use spacers for?
4. Tire size: Do you guys run stock tires or different sizes when you're lowered? On my 535i with H&R springs, I had the M3 (new M3) rims and had some really thin tires on it.
Basically, I'm just looking for a stock looking setup that kills the front wheel gap. I don't want the car to "stick out" and not interested in 20" bling bling rims. I'm too old for that kinda ****. Been there, done that in my youth.
Thank you,
