Suspension systems that not only transform the stance of the vehicle but also maintain ride quality and improve upon handling are what Dinan suspensions are known for. This is accomplished by pairing springs sets with bump stops spring perches or both to maintain suspension travel resulting in a smooth ride while also improving mechanical grip and handling. This is what makes Dinan suspension systems unique. While we are able to sell each component separately, it is highly recommended that both the spring sets and the supplemental ride quality and handling kits are used in tandem in order to maintain the Dinan quality standards our customers are used to. Experience the Dinan difference with this combination and enjoy the ride it provides.

Dinan's Performance Spring set for the BMW G42 M240i xDrive provides greater control over body roll by virtue of carefully calibrated spring rates. Additionally, Dinan lowers the car for improved suspension geometry and an even more aggressive stance. The Dinan springs are CNC wound with high tensile chrome silicon wire and shot-peened for stress relief to last the life of the car. The increase in stiffness will reduce the rear suspension compression under acceleration and front suspension compression (or dive) under braking, giving your car a more controlled feel. The Dinan performance springs will also provide a noticeable improvement in grip for high-speed driving situations that will inspire confidence in your car's capabilities. The reduced body roll makes the steering more responsive to driver input and will be noticed at low speeds up to the top speed of the vehicle.

NOTE: Dinan Performance Spring sets should be purchased and installed with the corresponding Ride Quality and Handling Kit to achieve the advertised ride height performance and ride quality. While not explicitly required, if the matching component is not purchased and installed you will get less than favorable results in the form of poor ride quality and improper handling traits. While we will maintain a full warranty on product defects any claims against the cars improper handling ride quality traits due to not purchasing the corresponding handling kit will not be warranted.

Features:

• Vehicle lowered 7/8-inch (22mm) in the front and rear
• 24% increase in spring stiffness in front and rear
• Substantial reduction in body roll
• Preset to prevent spring sag
• Compatible with factory electronic shocks (Adaptive M Suspension)
• Includes (2) front dual rate springs and (2) rear linear rate springs (Ride Quality and Handling Kit sold separately)
• Installation Instructions: https://documents.dinancars.com/9c04d96143360fe5ea08d5f14b9e4346428aa2f2.pdf

Dinan Performance Springs are matched to your BMW's chassis and suspension components to deliver better handling and looks without sacrificing ride quality. Dinan BMW springs are carefully engineered to work within your car's suspension travel and to improve suspension geometry. Spring rates are slightly stiffer than stock and dialed in to reduce bodyroll. A stiffer suspension makes the car more fun to drive and the lower ride height improves the looks by reducing wheel-fender gap.

Dinan spring specs -

• F: 1/2" (12mm)
  
• R: 1/2" (12mm)

Fitment note: When used with stock shocks the Dinan Ride Quality Kit is strongly recommended. The Kit consists of shorter and stiffer bump stops and spring perches that work better with the lowered ride height of these springs. While not explicitly required, less than favorable ride quality and handling may result without them.

For over 35 years, Dinan has been America's premier tuning company, pioneering advancements in BMW modification while retaining a focus on balanced performance that preserves the original character and driving feel that a BMW offers. When you install a Dinan part on your car, know that it's not only carefully developed and tested, but that Dinan stands behind it with a four year, 50,000-mile warranty. Dinan believes so fully in their “total package” approach that once your car has been fitted with enough of their parts, they celebrate your conversion from stock to Dinan with an exclusive trunk badge, displayed proudly by BMW enthusiasts everywhere. The springs are worth 2 points towards your Dinan badge (Ride Quality Kit is worth 1 point).

The same ride height as the standard H&R Sport springs but with a stiffer spring rate geared even more towards track performance. Fits all 2008+ E90 M3 sedan and E92 M3 coupe, with AND without electronic dampening control (EDC).

After thousands of street and track miles in our own 2008 M3 sedan project car (the white car pictured), we loved the way the "standard" H&R Sport Springs felt on both the street and track. Since the ride was so compliant on the street (even with 20" wheels), we felt some M3 owners might want to sacrifice some of the street ride quality for an even firmer spring rate that would handle even BETTER on the track. We asked, and H&R delivered -- and the H&R Sport PLUS springs for the E9x M3 were the answer. The same "ideal" ride height with a more aggressive spring rate that is still tolerable on the street (though not as forgiving as the standard H&R Sport springs) and more at home on the track.
