i finally solved my clunking issue by buying the turner adjustable links. i had to order nearly 1" shorter than dinan's shortest setting. this is indeed the strangest thing ive encountered also. why do they make something that doesnt work?

Maybe Dinan springs are a bit longer than Eibach springs? I'm running Eibach and that's basically all I can think of as to why the end links are longer.

What size did you order? I have 12-13" and I feel like I might have to go shorter.

Everything looks good. Like I said going to install this weekend. Pairing them with MCS 2WRC which the dampers are still being built. When ordering I would get front endlinks but like most kits comes with bushings and mounting points with grease fittings. I currently have the Dinan front Bar.

Is there any final conclusion here with the Dinan bar install?
The endlinks that come with the bar are not useful? I haven't installed mine yet so would be helpful to know if I have to spring for some other endlinks.

I have them installed on my car currently. They are defiantly big and bulky compared to the BW ones i'm about to install with my new bars.

Curious what install method you are using for the sub-frame, letting it hang or removing entirely?

Ended up completely removing. Also if I was doing it at home would have done it the same way, would be to hard to press in the new bushings (or lack there of bushings now lol) with it up still. Also to go in I used some silicone lube and bushing went in with ease. As far as sway bars only got the rear one on today, gonna do the front when I do the coil overs. But the sway bar does look great and can't wait for a track day to give the new mods a test.

Thanks for all the help/info in this thread.
If anyone's looking for a good deal on a handling package, Dinan(seller dinanengineering) is selling their old packages(no longer listed in catalog) on fleabay really cheap right now, but there are only a few left. I snagged one - the stage 3 handling kit for E92 w/EDC is $850+tax shipped. I believe there is 1 left for E92 and maybe more for E90...also stage 2/1 kits. Considering the swaybar alone is $500+, this is a steal. |

So now we order a (single) bar for $514 (insane for a single piece bar) for the included endlinks not to work and have to order endlinks from another company? I'll pass. What is the best option that isn't Dinan?
