He did, Dinan. Though you should just get coilovers if you can

I dont care about "confort" but speed bumps, car parks... that would be a problem?

Well lowering your car at all will impact driving dynamics for better and worse. I personally won't sacrifice any more comfort in an already bumpy car. It handles great and I don't track or autocross it. Depends how much you lower it.

The car rides smooth and is almost too soft stock. The shocks are meant to be able to handle lowing springs.

Do you have adaptive dampers?

I didnt see you bought Dinan, dont kill me.

I have adaptative dampers, yes. So how is your experience? Do you have extra problems with speed bumpers and those kind of things? Do you recommend it ?

Could you send us a link of those Dinan springs¿

[IanH]

I am having them installed on Monday. I bought them from Dinan's website.

If you have adaptive dampers, springs are really your best option unless you are going to be at the track often.

I do have adaptive dampers. Then again I've had a Lexus before and I'm probably comparing the ride quality to how comfortable those cars are

I've heard springs won't last as long as coilovers and also have a chance of messing up struts. I don't know how this relates to the G42 with adaptive dampers though. I know Dinan also released bump stops which may change things.

I also got the bump stops, which are required per Dinan

Springs can cause struts to fail if they over compress the strut, but are not going to hurt it otherwise. There is the threat of more wear but its probalby marginally more than normal. I have some confidence that since BMW offer lowering springs on the G87 that are the same max drop as the static drop on the Dinan springs.

Some lowering springs are dropping the car 1.5 inches or more, and I would definitely expect those to have an adverse effect.

I had a test wheel that I drove for 10000km multiple washes, high pressure water, wheel cleaner and no problem so far. So I decided was time to do the complete set of wheels.

If anyone wants this set please contact me per message.

Hi Jose I'm interested, I don't find how to send you a message, could you please contact me ? Thanks

This is my car with the Dinan Springs and Bump Stops. Before and after the best I could manage with my available before photos.

(If you click the picture you can see a higher resolution version)





I will post a review after I have some more driving time in. So far so good its a big improvement towards my goals for the car.

I just bought some this week. What size tires are you on? I want to go bigger than stock but not sure what size is fine with the springs.

245/40/19 on 19x8.5 et25. 12mm spacers.

Have some slight rub on hard cornering up front. Have not isolated it to the spacer or the tire yet. Not a concerning amount of rub and no witness marks on car or tire yet. I think it's coming from the tire touching the fender liner.

Do you think 245/35/19 would fix the rubbing?

To early to tell.

Gonna drive it for a week to see if the rub goes away or improves.

Then I will pull spacers off the front to see if it goes away.

245/35 is an oem tire size and what is on my summer tires that came with the car, I know that won't rub.

This is the TRE ID-01 spoiler.

Thanks, I am really liking the springs but I just don't want to give my complete thoughts with only 100 miles driving on them.

[elprincep]

Now i have the silvery wheels and I want to paint it. My car is black and Im trying to build a fullblack build... Which of the 2 paint options do you prefer?

It's cool to hate on black wheels these days but I personally think black on black is awesome. If your goal is all black then go black wheels.

I'm still a fan of black on black. It's a 'safe' clean look.

[IanH]

Imo black wheels look worst on light colored cars, but on a black car they can be a great option. It is all about the overall look of the car!

[VegasG42]

Yeah, gloss black wheels on a white car is a bit harder to pull off.

The black / stealth / murdered out look still looks good imo. And add in some carbon fiber for a nice touch.

I plan on adding the Tre spoiler soon, so everything should look good together
