Personnally, I never bottomed out with my Eibachs and I'm on the stock bump stops , the ride with EDC on confortable mode does'nt feel more harsh then stock , that's the main reason why I'm so happy with them. Also when it was time to choose which springs I wanted , price was not an issue , I went with Eibachs because I've readed many good reviews of them and also because I had Eibachs on 2 of my previous cars and was really satisfied! You probably can't go wrong with Dinan but I can tell you that I honestly does'nt see any down side with my Eibachs and keep in mind that I live in Québec, the streets here are as ugly as it gets !

Isn't Dinan stage 1 a set of springs, bump stops and modified spring perch's? I agree it's the proper way to put springs on a car but you definitely don't need to go through Dinan to get all of that done.

I have RD Sport springs + Dinan bumpstops + Dinan shockmounts. Ride feels eerily similar to stock!

Most people just street drive the KW sleeve overs. I have tracked it and autocrossed the car and it works well. It feels and handles like stock with a small reduction in body roll. The stock shocks definitely needs more dampening and rebound on track though. At no time did I feel like it was hitting the bumpstops. KW sleeve overs also come with shorter bump stops so that may be why. |

When doing follow ups, for the most part, they all seem to enjoy the comfort of the setup in comparison to stock. Some of those guys have gotten into tracking now, so they are on the upward progression of upgrades.

The trade off you get in poor ride quailty vs a car that sits lower on the ground...well isnt worth it IMO..for that a proper CO system would be better suited |

Is your car a ZCP car?

Then yes, to answer your previous question, you can retain stock-like ride and handling characteristics with the Eibach setup along with the supporting modifications.
It will be pretty much like a stock car, but slightly lower.

Thank you, I wish you were closer to me. I'd like to have someone who knows do the modifications to my stock parts instead of having to explain it.

I've had a buddy's ZCP E90 right next to my E90 with the Dinan Stage 1. The front is about the same but my car was a little lower in the rear.
My non-EDC car with the Dinan Stage 1 is just a touch rougher on the street. 99% of the people would be happy with it if price were no issue. IMO, if the track is in the equation...all of the above is a waste. No better than OEM. BTW, I have a pair of Dinan front guide supports for sale. I've upgraded to ground control plates.

For the OP, I've been pretty happy with the ride of the RD Sport springs. Ride is pretty close to stock with a nice drop. Reason I'm switching to sleeve kit is because I want a lower drop. |

RD Sport is the lowest spring option.
