At the same time, I had new wheels (VMB5) and tires (PSS) mounted and calipers painted black at Simply Tire and got the springs installed by a place they work with (Evolution Racing). Also mounted winter tires (XI3) on the OE rims. I'll try and post pictures later tonight. I'd heard mixed reviews of BimmerSport, plus it would have been an extra step for me after getting the tires on so that was the only thing that prevented me searching out other options. |

looks great
Very similar to mine actually although my tires are a little less wide. How are you liking it so far?

This is exactly the information I have been looking for. Thanks for the input junky. Would you be able to provide the contact info for Lash and the shop you used? I'm sure others in the GTA would appreciate as well.
Thanks!

343 Elgin St. North Unit B Cambridge ON N1R 7H9 CA 519-740-6864 Lash Shergill is who I dealt with, his email is: lashtech@rogers.com. They are the only authorized distributor in Ontario that is not a dealer and they also do the install. I posted above, I had these installed with my wheels through Simply Tire (www.simplytire.com), they don't do any of the suspension work, but use Evolution Racing. I didn't deal with Evolution directly, but I can say that the install was clean and seamless for me and a significant amount more reasonable than the dealer wanted for the install. After having them now for the weekend, I can only gush more about the difference in ride quality and appearance. I didn't get around to taking better pictures and I still have to do another wax before winter comes along. Hopefully this coming weekend will be nice so I can get this all done.

I think these come in the box, but just in case, here are the alignment specs from Dinan. They are the same for the RWD and AWD models (confirmed by Dinan).

I just ordered the springs and Bump Stops today. I'm having them along with the Dinan Exhaust installed next week. I'm having it done at my Dealership since they are a Dinan dealer. My wife said I can do what I want to her car as long as I have it done at the dealership so we don't have a warranty issue sometime down the road. hey if she will let me mode it then I'll let the dealership do what they need to. They did cut a few hundred off the install cost for me. the total install cost was for alignment and everything else.

I'm gonna be selling my Dinan springs with bump stops next week if anyone's interested. They fit 335i non- xdrive.

So I've got my Dinan installed today and what a difference in driving feel is. Night and day. The car feels like a "driving machine" finally. The down side is that the head lights somehow light up to the roof line now. I do not know how that happened as the installation has been done at the dealer. Anyway I am really happy with the way the car drives on these springs.

I believe that the who ever did the swap at the dealership forgot to re-attach the headlight autoleveling sensor. I am going to call them this morning and set up an appointment to check into this. Nothing wrong with the Dinan parts in my opinion.

It has taken me forever to get the time to take some pictures. Finally got around to it, as I'm likely going to take the Velgens off tomorrow and put my winter setup on.
We'll here it is...finally!! I'll get more pictures up after I've had some fun processing them to make them look nicer. It was rainy here and the sky was flat, which sucks, but the car is still beautiful! |

And here's what the Dinan setup looks like with the OE (225-45-18) setup.

Roughly 2.5-3 hours for the install.

Can you pm me and tell me about your experiences with Lash tech, I called him today and he seems reasonable and was thinking of buying some Dinan stuff off him since my Dinan exhaust was purchase at Budds BMW and I feel Lash could get me a better deal? Thanks |

Great to deal with, I don't know what their install services are like, but definitely worth a conversation with them just for the sheer competitiveness of the part. |
