I lowered my rear subframe and the stock bushings are basically H shaped with a small gap on the front and back sides, maybe 3/16". The Powerflex inserts fill this gap from the top and bottom to reduce how much the subframe can flex.

I can't really give you a true evaluation of just the Powerflex since I added coilovers, rear swaybar and rear upper camber arms as the same time but my car handles so much better, night and day better. I set the coilovers stiff, 20 out of 30 clicks.

What color power flex bushings did you use ,black or yellow?

Eibach makes the springs for ACS specifically tuned for BMWs and ACS was actually the factory spring vendor for BMW at one time is my understanding. Better than Dinan and won’t void your warranty.

just got my acs on my xdrive, good drop i think

For you guys who got coilovers did you previously have adaptive suspension? I’m looking at the coilovers route to replace my adaptive suspension (possibly knackered shocker so why not do the upgrade now)

Question is did you manage to code out the warning lights etc heading away from adaptive b

You'll need to get an EDC delete module. KW makes a really good one, part number is 68510301

So you actually need a delete kit and you cant just code it out?

As far as I'm aware, yes. The Adaptive Suspension ECU will always search for the appropriate damper hardware. The delete kit simply lies to the ECU to make it think that the system is functional.

I used the yellow.

I finished lowering my 335xi. Still need to do my front sway bar yet.

My xDrive is lowered on KW Comfort coils on their highest ride height setting and medium coil setting. I don't have any complaints about them.

Dinan springs and bump stops.

[RH06]

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a 2014 335i xDrive M sport. I'm looking to do some cheap mods. I'm currently on 18" OEM RFT wheels.

I wanted to do install spacers and springs.... Looking to buy new 19" wheels next year.

Can anyone recommend the spacer sizes and springs which will work without any rubbing issue and still give a smooth ride.


Will do red calipers and ceramic coating soon.

Car is Apline White on Red interior

Thanks
Robin

What is your take on the ride quality of the Dinan springs?

This was my previous review after very little time on the setup,

Did the install last weekend and here are my + ve thoughts.
- wheel gap has been reduced significantly (xdrive)
- body roll has been reduced significantly
- car drives much smoother over minor road imperfections, gone is that sharp jarring hit over even the smallest bumbs. Seems like the initial few inches of travel is softer and better suited to regular roads.
(# modified below)- car is much more planted around bumpy corners, before it was very skittish and squirmy.
This spring/shock combo works better than the original.

I would like to modify it however to add a -ve,
- over multiple small bumps, straight or in a corner the stock shocks cant can't keep up and the wheels loose traction. Interesting in bumpy corners as you drift around them.
