KW HAS vs Dinan High Performance Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension System

F10M5SoccerDad · 10-20-2016, 05:58 PM

Hey Guys,

I wanted to get your opinions on KW HAS vs
Dinan High Performance Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension System for my M5? Did anyone try out both and have feedback? Thanks in advance.

Just ordered the KW HAS kit and will be able to provide feedback soon. Have not tried Dinan.

My car had DINAN and I've driven KW HAS. I highly recommend KW.

If your goal is to improve handling and body roll. I would honestly go with the DINAN swaybar. There is huge improvement over stock and I bet it may satisfy you. Then go suspension.

I say that only because my car was a DD and with suspension it wasn't my favorite ride. Sway bars only if was phenomenal.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely go with the sway bars first.

Is Dinan sway a major improvement over CP sways?

How much for eibach lowering springs installed?

josec70 · 11-08-2016, 09:30 PM

I've had the KW HAS on now for about 2 weeks and love them. I like the adjustability factor as well as the ride quality. Great compromise between traditional fixed height springs and coils from both a performance and price perspective.

F10M5SoccerDad · 11-09-2016, 07:49 PM

Awesome. I'm going to get the sway bars first and then get the KW HAS after.

How much did you guys pay or have been quoted for install on a KW or Dinan HAS kit? Checked yesterday on dinan at dealer when I was there for service and was quoted $1500

12 hours of labor x DINAN rate of $170 is what I was quoted at the DINAN dealer for springs and sways. The actual install is less than 6 hours start to finish.

Go to an indie shop and get quoted actual and it should be around the $800 range which is what I paid.

I hate it when shops charge the full labor charge when it takes hours less to complete the job.

ykjones · 02-08-2017, 11:11 PM

Dinan sways arrived and awaiting arrival of KW HAS any day now. Would like to know of any other install quotes or prices you guys paid for installing KW HAS and/or the Dinan Sways. Trying not to get raked over the coals here. Thanks.

6-8 hours max for install. Most will try to throw the book rate at you. I paid around $750 for the full install of both the springs and sways.

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Anyone else?

I have Dinan sway bars and their coilovers. Great products but I find the rear too bouncy... and I'm not near as low as some here. Sway bars are a must.
