Dinan vs. KW HAS

All - I'm thinking of lowering my 2014 CP M5. Nothing too dramatic, likely around 3/4". It's annoying as I bought the CP hoping to never drop it further, but the wheel gap is really getting to me. Can anyone give feedback regarding these setups? I favor Dinan for factory warranty purposes. I really don't want to affect ride quality significantly if possible. Thanks.

We have done both the Dinan and the KW HAS. Both are a nice kits and will retain the EDC. The KW is about $800 cheaper though but like you mentioned they wont back you if you have warranty issues with your suspension. If price isnt the determining factor for you, then I would go with Dinan.

Here is picture of an M5 lowered with their kit

Correct they are the sport cup 2's in the rear only. 305/30/20 is the size. He originally had 12mm front spacers and 10mm rear but since switching to the 305's might of removed the 10mm spacers in the rear.

Can anyone comment on ride quality, noises, or vibrations from either of these setups?

Since the Dinan doesn't affect the warranty, does that mean you can turn a lease back in with the Dinan springs or do you have to put the stock back on before delivering the car?

Depends on the dealer to be honest. Some dealers only want the car back as completely stock vehicles and some don't. Just a matter of how the dealership runs their CPO program. Only your local dealer would be able to answer that question accurately.

The honest answer is none.
After installing many of both the KW HAS and Dinan sleeve kits.
But function the same.
OEM ride quality is retained. With the lowered stance and with the correct alignment specifications, you feel improved handling and less body roll throughout driving.
The only factor I have noticed is that the KW allows you to adjust the spring height all the way down till you cant drive the car.
Dinan's kit only allows you to adjust the height to a max setting that is set.
There for, if you adjust the KW to a preferred stance and it's past the recommended settings then any noises are created due to going past the recommended settings.
Hope that made sense.
