Hey guys where's the best place to buy Dinan parts in the GTA?

I found TDOT Performance but price seems. But pricing seems a tad high...

Your paying a premium through the dealer though. I can save easily $100 buying it off eBay in USD even after customs fees....

Finally done with the OEM stuff and moving onto aftermarkets? how much $$ have to put into her right now?

definitely want to follow your footsteps with the m perf brakes and tempting to do the m sport bumper

Forgot to add, make sure you get matching dampers/shocks with the springs. The car can get bouncy without.

Thanks dude.

In terms of costs (cdn):
Bought the car for $29k (cpo), put in $7k to do the M Sport conversion (that's exterior bumpers and interior complete) and then another $7k or so on all the other accessories + bits (extentions, Avin, LCI updates, spacers, carbon pieces, second set of winter rims + new tires all around etc).

I'm considering Dinan springs but not convinced on the spending still. That will likely be $1400 after all said and done. I monitor the driveways I pull in and out of everyday and if I lower even .75" I'm gonna be smacking the road all the time with my front lip.

I've never been so afraid of addition in my life! I don't even want to think about how much I've put into her so far.. Lol

Yeah I had purposely ignored the spending until the other day I had nothing to do. Made a spreadsheet and went through the receipts :s

I got mine here. Called the guy (a bit hard to get a hold of), and he shipped them directly from Dinan to my home. Better price than TDot.

Lash Motorsport Inc.
343 Elgin St. North Unit B
Cambridge ON N1R 7H9 CA
519-241-1089

Good luck.

Wow. with that, you're close to a new car sans tax. But it looks pretty sweet.

There's some tall speed bumps that I scrape the bottom on if I don't go slow enough. Not great. And surprised that small of a drop could cause problems. It'll be a bigger problem for you for sure. No front lip on mine. But I love the handling after Dinan springs. Well worth it.

Yeah I priced a new 330 through BMW Toronto and it would still have run $51k + taxes. That was specs with grey unpainted brakes and no aerodynamics components.

Keep in mind the $7k updates I quoted as "accessories" I would've had to of done on the new car as well. So i'm still $15k below a new one.

I picked up my car with 18k km's and an extended cpo warranty. After all said and done I'm pretty comfortable with how everything played out.

Thanks for letting me know, how does the Avin seem to be working for you? Was thinking about getting it my self.

I don't have it, you'll have to ask the OP. I debated getting NBT retrofit though..

Works flawlessly for me. I haven't had any of the issues the guys over in the nav/ electronics section are having.

One of the best spends I made on this car.
