I say keep the suspension as is. If you have a non-Comp car, the Dinan is a great option (but stupidly expensive, and if you don't care about the warranty, you can replicate it for half the cost). |

Reviving this thread. So what is the consensus? Are the Ohlins R&T as good or better in terms of comfort over stock?
I have non-EDC and would like an honest answer, from people who drive really crappy roads. Here in Toronto, roads are always under construction (no joke - like half the city has construction). I used to have an E46 M3 which was harsh in stock form, upgraded to a set of B&G Coils and the ride got worse (way too bouncy). I was so happy to upgrade to the much more "comfy" suspension of the E9x M3s. As this thread states. Want it lower (not much - mostly the front), but ride/handle LIKE or BETTER than stock - want it to feel just as "cushy". It looks like it's between Dinan and Ohlins - but if I'm going to spend 3k on Ohlins, really want validation that I'm making the right choice.

Man! After reading all this, I'm doubtfull I'll even upgrade my suspension from OEM non ZCP. I don't want to blow $3k or more for it, nor want to screw up its balanced handling for the purpose of just lowering it so it looks better. Unless there is a sleeve kit that will retain handling specs or improve it and not blow that much cash, I don't see the benefits. Someone educate me if I'm wrong. Thought, maybe one of the Dinan set ups might be the way to go??

I would like to get that lower look for sure and so I think Dinan Stage I would be the way to go, at least for now and maybe later add other Dinan options to get it to Stage III as an option. I think that'll be my route.

Do the Ohlins ever feel "bouncy"? It was a horrible experience having bouncy coilovers on my E46 M3 - made it so I felt sick every time I went for a drive. How much have your Ohlins settled since you put them in?

i have the same wants as the OP.
Is there anything wrong with buying a good condition used (8k miles) set of KW sleeve springs? I'm pretty confident the KW adjustable sleeve over kit is the best option for springs and "stock like" ride for the money

I was skeptical about altering the suspension and give up ride comfort, however heard so many great reviews on swifts spec r springs, I had to try it. I'm glad I did, because the ride comfort is unchanged, or at least not that noticeable to me. I have EDC, and e36 bumpstops. DIY install was a breeze.
