Dinan Performance Suspension Kit

[Rob NY]

Has anyone used Dinan to drop their car.
It dropps it only 3/4" vs H&R springs over 1 1/2.
If anyone did it hows the ride and if you can share any pictures.

Thank you.

Question: Why would you lower a vehicle 3/4"? Unless you were doing coil-overs and were doing it primarily for ride & performance?

a 3/4" drop with springs is a waste of money in my mind. Just run stockers. Or do H&R and make it worth the time & money.

In my opinion a slight drop looks better than no drop. If they say 3/4" you might get an 1" and retain OEM ride seems alright to me I would also like more of a drop but I think Dinan does have its place. I was thinking of pairing the Dinan shock relocation kit with a set of hartage springs however they discounted the shock relocation part of the kit

Does EDC still work with the Dinan springs?

I did the H&R drop but it was too much because of the roads in NYC area, the car needs to get some drop so I figure anything is better then nothing.

I agree better something then nothing...

Dinan drop is actually more an inch than 3/4 after it settles. It sharpens up the stock suspension and eliminates what little body roll the beast did have when it was on stock suspension. Turn in still feels the same but mid corner it definitely feels more planted and brake dive from high speed (130+ to 40mph stops are much more drama free) is greatly reduced. The ride is great especially since the roads around me are horrid.. I decided against going with the kw v3 setup that a lot of guys on here use because it just isn't bearable for a daily driver in my area. Dinan needs to make more parts for our trucks! I'm contemplating switching to team Velos this spring so I can run downpipes.. hoping Dinan does something before that!

After seeing Gerryballz's X5M in the other thread, I think that is plenty of drop and provides a better ride than the H&R's (at least that's what I've read so far). I'm definitely going this route in the next couple months.
