Dinan Shockware with ACS springs?

Anyone running this combination?

(AFAIK, Dinan doesn't make springs for my F34, so I'm considering ACS.)

I might be in a few months... Just installed the ACS springs on the adaptive suspension and am damn happy after the first 5 days. Could stand to be a bit more firm on sport which is why I would consider the dinan software at a later date just with a lower priority than some other items on the wishlist.

I have heard comments from a few customers that have had the combination done and they were all happy with the combination. Suspension mods are all kind of individual taste though and ones person soft is another stiff so its really hard to quantify them. Shockware was designed to work with any aftermarket spring set though.

I'm heavily considering this mod. Do you notice any bounciness from the spring upgrade? I always looked down on spring upgrades as being a half job because of mismatched spring rates/dampers, but I'm not sure how adaptive dampers factor in this equation.

Is there still a noticeable difference between comfort and sport? Is comfort actually still comfortable? Bouncy?

No bounce on comfort or sport settings. Overall, incredibly happy with end result for looks, ride quality, and handling.

Only thing I would look for after another few hundred miles on the car this week would be a touch more roll control. Have to see what xdrive sways are released in the future for front and rear, but might consider just a front bar now as I believe they are available. So sway bar(s) and/or shockware is on the to-do list.
