If anyone is interested I sold my car and I have a Dinan front bar with the endlinks modded so you can use them and I also have an M Performance v2 exhaust for sale. If interested let me know and we can go from there.
I also have various cosmetic bits and e92 M3 roof rack base bars with rack. Exhaust and Bar are sold. |

My car went down to fumes on the Hoosiers. Or more accurately - I never fuel starved it despite autocrossing it with < 1 gallon remaining a couple times (that’s about when you get the three bars on the range)
But it’s an 08 I’ve no idea whether there’s a difference on the later cars though I doubt it very much

I kept the rear Bilstein B6 EDC units rather than then taking them off. The OEM rears were very shot, and I was left to only conclude the Bilsteins are better. That said, my new alignment specs have been a bit of a disappointment as I dialed out much of the rear toe in and the car dances a wee bit too much to be confident with the go peddle. Got my butt handed to me by Cashmore this weekend. Kudos to him -- not so much to me. Once everything is in, I'll get it re-aligned and get back into the fray.

That's disappointing. I had a very similar experience on my E46 M3 -- installed Bilstein HDs on all four corners, found the amount they lifted the front of the car unacceptable, and replaced the fronts with Konis while keeping the rears on the car.

Regular street ride handling characteristics were pretty nice. On lowering springs, I could really see where they would work but we can't use lowering springs, so such as it is.

Here are my runs from this weekend. It was great to meet some of you guys.
Made some mistakes on my fast run on day 1, pushing wide in a few of the 90 degree corners, but my time ended up being okay. I drove much better on day 2. |

Looked like a fun course. I like how you turn in early. I can't seem to master that

[QUOTE=sgreer78;24743716]If anyone is interested I sold my car and I have a Dinan front bar with the endlinks modded ...QUOTE]
So I'm tired of trying to trouble shoot the front end clunk I get in one-wheel bump/roll. Endlinks and pivots are tight, and no signs of contact. I have the Dinan front bar on half-stiff and un-modded end links shortened as far as they go. Is the consensus that the Dinan endlinks clunk unless you cut a 1/2" off and drill/tap them if you're trying to use the half-stiff to full-stiff range on the bar? If you're buying new endlinks, is the Bimmerworld 11-12.5" length correct? |

My Dinan endlinks seem to get loose after a few events and will start to clunk from having a little bit of play. So every once in a while I get the car on ramps and make sure the nut where the endlink connects into the bar is very tight. Doing this with the car uneven or with the sway bar loaded, like if the car is just up on a jack stand, doesn't work. |

I've seen a few people mention the endlink length as being an issue from Dinan, so before I move onto my next steps I was hoping someone could confirm if shortening the endlinks has helped. Next steps: Option 1: Leave Dinan endlinks unmodified, but completely disassemble, inspect and reinstall with zero preload. No compliance currently when fully installed, but potential for preload. Order new ball joint ends from Dinan if required. Option 2: Take Dinan endlinks to machine shop to shorten by 1/2". Option 3: Order Bimmerworld 11-12.5" endlinks. (I would prefer the booted/greased Dinan/OEM ball joint ends for a street car over the spherical rod ends, but whatever works...) |

Yes, the standard Bimmerworld adjustable end links work well with the Dinan bar.

^Thanks for the idea. I have a bunch of leftover lumber that will have a use now.
So I removed the endlinks and it turns out both ball joints on the bottom side are on their way out. There was just enough preload, or the bar shifted enough, to take out the slack when they were mounted. I measured the Dinan endlink lengths at 13.3", which is pretty much as short as they go. I'm going to order those standard length 12-13.5" Bimmerworld ones and try going a little bit shorter. Also going to shorten and refurb the Dinan ones so I can easily swap sets the next time around. Thanks everyone for the help. |

In the afternoon session, I started pushing the gas pedal into the detent to trigger wheelspin off the line, and didn't notice as much (or any?) delay during the 1-2 shift. Not sure if the two are related, though.
