best way to get Dinan parts

matty088 · 01-30-2018, 02:44 PM

I want to order dinan parts. Do i order thru dealer or thru the dinan website?

I want to order lowering springs, upgraded perches, and the shockware. The crazy thing is the dinan website says 6.7 hours for the spring install and 6.7 for perch. Does that sound crazy
Any insight please?

I installed springs in about 4 hours or so. so 6.7 sounds reasonable.

Spring and perch at same time, about 6 to 7.

As for where to get parts, try some advertisers here as they also discount

Try the dealership. Work with the parts guys and get close to them. I'm getting mine through the parts manager out here and gave me an M gruppe discount, plus they do NOT charge for shipping to their store. Might wanna give it a shot. Installation, find someone else who's very familiar with the aftermarket BMW installs.

I’d try going thru a local Dinan installer and see if you can get a deal if you bought and installed thru them. This worked out best for me and if any problems arise you just have to deal with one person

Otherwise find out how much it’ll cost a local Indy to do it a buy the parts from the cheapest place like some of the sponsors here
