I have this same set up, with the exception of no Dinan rear mounts.

MRF shaved upper support guides and E36 bumpstops to replace the KW ones. Been running this for the past 1.5 years, daily driven car and I have ZERO complaints. Far cheaper option then running coilovers at this point. I installed the springs at 54k miles and put 12k on them so far (I dont drive alot, i know).

I went this route as 1. I am still CPO and 2. I did not want to drop the cash on coilovers yet. Once warranty is up (although it does not cover suspension) and the shocks eventually blow, i will get coilovers.
