Hi,

I am debating getting Dinan spring and shockware on my 340ix. I called Dinan but they were not helpful. I have (naively?) expected a friendly conversation two enthusiasts may have. This forum is way friendlier - most of the time ;-). They also don't have a test vehicle.

Is there anybody in the Bay Area who could let me drive their F30 with Dinan shocks and shockware? It doesn't have to be ix. My concern is that the back may be too jumpy over uneven surfaces when cornering like it was in my old E92 with sport suspension - well I don't want it to be worse than it was in the E92. With little twins it will be a while before I go to the track again so I am concerned about cornering on uneven roads.

Verbal experiences of people on regular roads, not on track, are welcome, too.

I have a F36 x-drive w/ adaptive suspension, ACS springs, shockware and Dinan anti sways. I'm much happier with the suspension, firm, but not harsh. Honestly, it matches up really well. I drove it hard on a mountain road a few weeks back and was super happy. It makes my car handle how I thought it should have from the beginning. It definitely isn't harsh, even the sways aren't super hard, just a good boost from stock. My last car was worlds better in terms of handling, which was painfully obvious with the stock setup. The stock setup was pretty floaty and under damped. Going to sport helped a bit, but the rigidity and mass of the run flats still made it pretty harsh. Like I said, it seems to match up very nice now, better than stock.

Thanks! BTW, I have non run flats (PS2s). They came inflated to 38psi when I bought the car and I like it that way.
