Who has fitted the M-performance spring on their DHP?
Just like the title says..has anyone tried this combo yet?
I would appreciate, if you could give me some feedback. Thanks!

honestly, it's just stiffer springs with a 10mm drop. I can see no downside of the mod. I just don't want to be first to do it, haha. There's also Dinan parts coming out specifically for DHP. Probably wait for that.

I am anxiously awaiting the Dinan parts... shockware, springs and matching bump stops. I posted what I've found out so far about this on this thread:
http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=862007 I really want to retain the functionality of the adaptive EDC dampers, so I can't wait to see how this option stacks up against the M Performance setup.

I'm getting tired of waiting for the Dinan kit... every time I call them, they sound less and less confident that it will be out any time soon. At this point, I'd say sometime next year is optimistic.
While it would be nice to have Shockware to provide a revised Sport mode with a firmer damper calibration, I am starting to think that the bigger benefit of this system will be the firmer springs. The stock sport springs seem to be the weak point in the DHP suspension; they are probably a little on the soft side, more optimized to favor those who prefer to drive in Comfort mode. With that in mind, I'm starting to think the M Performance springs may be the perfect solution! As I understand it, H&R Sport springs are at a similar spring rate as OEM sport - just lower. (Too low in my opinion) This is probably why some folks seem to report bottoming out with them. The firmer spring rate and only 10mm of drop could be the ideal solution.

Definitely not. When I spoke to Dinan (Jeff) a month ago he was saying that the stage 1 tune comes out first, then Shockware in early spring (estimate). I'm kind of glad that they're doing such extensive testing on the Shockware and tune before release--it increases the likelihood of an excellent outcome. (Of course I don't even own the f30 yet, so I'm not bursting at the seams like DVC!)

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The Dinan rep at a dealership here in MA told me that they're having trouble with their software (I've forgotten the name that he used for the program they're using). Maybe six of one, half-dozen of the other...
