Dinan coil overs

Anyone running them? Any feedback? Looks like they're cheaper than KW

I'm not sure they're cheaper. The dinan 'coilovers' look to be the same type of setup as the KW HAS sleeve kit. Similarly priced (KW is actually cheaper)

Dinan (see pictures here):

reuses the stock shocks

KW:

also reuses stock shocks

I have the Dinan on my cp. Improved ride same w/ keeping min roll over cp.

The only other setup I would look at is kw v3 kit. I still have not driven the setup but I understand it is awesome.

I have the Dinan coilovers and really like them. My car is lowered .75 with minimal decrease in ride quality. I also have the sway bars which have greatly reduced roll, sharpened the steering and have no impact on ride quality

I have installed the Dinan kits.
The Dinan setup rides and handles as expected. Very well !
You wont be disappointed.
The only difference I've found when installing both Dinan and KW HAS is that the KW will allow you to adjust the height lower then the Dinan kit.
But that is a owners personal taste on how you would want the stance to be.
I want performance and function over how low you can go

How would you compare the ride to standard M5 in Comfort?

It is definitely stiffer. I used to ride around in sport plus all the time. Now I keep it in sport and comfort. Sport plus is way too stiff now around the city roads I would say comfort is now somewhere between sport/sport plus
