2011 BMW M3 with Dinan Racing Suspension, Dinan Control Arms & Dinan Rear Toe Links
This 2011 M3 Competition package is being set up for spirited daily driving and regular track use. Our customer wanted less body-roll and a tighter suspension for their needs. He decided on Dinan and we ordered the Dinan Racing Adjustable Coil Over system, Dinan lower control arm mono ball bushings, and Dinan adjustable rear toe links to really get him the suspension he was looking for. This package comes with front camber plates so that the customer can dial in the suspension for track days, and then switch to a more conservative alignment for daily driving. It offers ride height adjustment as well. And to help for those track visits we know this car will be a part of, we have also added a CG Lock seat belt lock as a solution to getting stock belts "racing harness tight" without replacing them with actual harnesses.
Parts Installed: BMW E9x Racing Coil-Over Suspension System (EDC Only) by Dinan BMW E9x M3 Racing Rear Toe Links by Dinan BMW Lower Control Arm Monoball Kit by Dinan CG Lock Harness-Like Seatbelt Restraint Clamp Dinan Coil Over Suspension Kit Stock shock being removed The difference in the bushing is definitely noticeable. The stock one is on the right, the Dinan on the left The bushing on and ready to go back in The next part of the kit Time to remove the stock coil over The OEM coil over disassembled And the new Dinan upgrades installed Dinan Lower Control Arm Mono Ball Kit Disconnect the stock control arm Pop out the bushing All ready for the Dinan ones Install Dinan And stick it back in place Dinan Rear Toe Link OEM Dinan Stock versus Dinan Dinan’s high performance parts will add precision and predictability when this M3 is driven to the limit, as well as when its cruising around town. Now, this BMW is freshly equipped with fine-tuned handling, improved comfort and responsiveness, superior performance, and all this with 3 simple parts upgrades!

Customer states that the car "tracks" better at the track and on the street. Overall steering feel is improved as well.
The car has also had upgraded sway bars installed since this installation which have dramatically improved the handling as well.

The MONOBALL is probably one of the best mod investments you can do for street or track use. Night and day difference. Truly a great mod by Dinan. I love mine

What's the advantage with the aluminum bushings?

Thanks for the question. Here are some details on the Monoball kit:
The Dinan Monoball Kit provides responsiveness you can feel by replacing the rubber bushings in the thrust arms with precision ball joints and machined aluminum housings. Improves responsiveness by eliminating the deflection inherent in the stock rubber bushings while also reducing brake shimmy. The quietest bearings on the market are virtually noise free so you can live with them everyday. These are the only bearings on the market that are sealed using a rubber boot to keep out dirt and road grime stopping them form wearing out prematurely. Hope this helps!

Hey guys, we had yet another BMW M3 come in for some Dinan suspension upgrades. This particular one got a Dinan Stage 1 Suspension Kit. It lowers the car by 1/2" while helping reduce body roll, improving ride quality and giving it a more aggressive stance. We think it looks pretty slick.
