Looking to install the Dinan springs and bump stops myself on a 2015 335xi with DHP. Been reading up on this and it seems there are 3 locations where you need a "special tool" or a creative workaround:

1. Front sway bar screws - 16mm Spark plug socket + torx 30 key
2. Front top support bearings - 18mm Spark Plug Socket + 6mm allan key
3. Rear top support bearings - 16mm Spark Plug Socket + 6mm allan key

Just want to confirm if this is correct?

Rather have all the tools I need now vs. running to autozone with the car half torn apart! :P

Thanks!

You can save yourself all that hassle by buying a set of "crows feet" wrench adapters.

Thanks. I Think. Either a crows foot or a pass through socket...

That still doesn't really help me know what size hex/torx/sockets/crows feet I need....

I bought this a while back and it comes in handy all the time.

You probably could get away with just the 3/8 socket set too keep costs down.

I installed bilsteins and h&r springs a couple week ago so I can give you the sizes of everything

The front top strut stuff is 18mm and 6mm Allen.

The rear top shock stuff is 15mm and 5mm Allen

I think the swaybar is same as rear.

Also I would pick up Allen drivers not the wrenches. And def not the balled tip Allen drivers.

No prob. Don't forget the spring compressor.
