Dinan Springs + handling pack

J_MENIS · 11-22-2016, 05:00 PM

Anyone try this? Or know a good set of springs that'll help the car corner while maintaining a close to stock ride

Dinan/ACS springs is probably one of the best mods you can do for your car. It's how it's supposed to handle out of the factory. Car feels more planted, less body roll, and is still comfortable. Cornering feels great as there's less floaty feeling and you can do it faster with confidence.

If you don't have adaptive suspension (EDC), I recommend replacing the shocks as well. Some ppl have reported it being bouncy on certain road conditions with just the dinan springs.

I got shockware for the EDC too but I do feel bouncy on certain roads and need to switch to comfort mode so my back seat passengers don't get sick

Regarding cornering, it increases the confidence level going into corners and the car has much less body roll but not too rigid that it's uncomfortable

I don't have the DHP but when I put my car into the car stiffens up. Is that different ?

Yeah, you're probably noticing the steering effort increased which is reduction in powered assistance for the steering (chassis). Without DHP you don't have variable shocks in stock form

Just FYI: the springs and the "Ride & Handling Kit" (bump stops) are both discounted 10% on the Dinan site for Black Friday. I just ordered them. I'm shopping around for some deals on the Bilstein B8 struts and shocks I'll be pairing them with.
