I’m in broward county myself and I just bought the Dinan springs with the handling kit. Just haven’t installed it as yet. I’m curious to see how it would look lowered as this is my first car I’ve ever lowered or modified in general.

I haven't measured what the drop equated to. Looking at the car, I can tell its lower. The ride is basically the same. I do drive it more carefully just in case, but I haven't felt like I made a mistake. No bottoming out.
I'm about to install full body kit so maybe my opinion will change.

Got everything installed (Dinan Springs and Ride Kit) and I’m really happy with the results. The subtle drop was exactly what I was looking for. It’s noticeable and the ride is slightly firmer without being harsh. No issues with going up my driveway and over speed bumps.

Looks nice, enjoy! I sure am enjoying mine.
Don't forget to slap some nice spacers

+1 for spacers, it goes so well with the drop

Absolutely! Definitely makes the car "settle" into the drop.

Looks really great! Are you running spacers as well?

Looks great! Im looking to do the same thing but worried the drop may not be enough in the front (5/8” for xdrive vehicles). Yours looks great and what i would want, do you have x drive?

I started out with the H&Rs and they are great on smooth roads, but too rough for me on city streets - rather harsh The Dinan springs with the the bump stops are perfect.

THIS. Exactly what I had heard too so I went with the Dinans and the Ride Kit. SOMETIMES I wish she was a bit lower, but then I remember I don't want to scrape at all.

Btw... she's pretty. Any more plans?

I have the H&R springs on my 22' M4 Comp and they ride amazing! Definitely a stiffer ride compared to stock but the quality is top notch and don't have any complaints.

I'm considering either H&R for more of a drop or even going full-on coilovers/airbags.

Looks great, just the ride amount of drop I am looking for.

Can I ask what did it cost? Or did you do it yourself? I am in Jacksonville and hate to pay the labor that Dinan stats to install the supplemental kit. Plus I don’t trust most of these shops here.

I am so sorry for the late reply. I actually had a close friend do the install for me and it came out to $600 with install and alignment. He is one of only a few people I trust my car to.

Update: I thought the ride was a bit firmer on the Dinan springs but after switching from the Goodyear RFT's to Michelin Pilot 4s this thing rides like factory AND handles better. It soaks up the bumps just like factory

I’m planning on swapping over to h&r though because they drop the car just that much more and it just looks amazing imo. Still very happy with Dinan otherwise though.

Did you ever end up swapping over to H&Rs? Still contemplating the same. I want her a liiiiiiittle bit lower if possible
