Dinan Parts - Where to buy online for best price?
So, I have never bought Dinan parts and I want to get the springs/bump stops before summer.
Where is the best price online? Or are we pretty restricted to just Dinancars.com? Thanks!

Thanks. Did you use a discount from BMW CCA, 2Addicts, or just negotiate it?

same here i ordered tune/springs bump stops/exhaust.
I would find a dealer in your area and negotiate the labor price as part of the part order. I don't think it would be worth while to buy the parts and then take them to be installed. This is assuming you are not doing the work yourself. |

For reference, i paid $450 for install and alignment. The shop i used (West End Alignment) is a highly respected suspension shop here in the L.A. area.

300 for installing springs and alignment? That's insanely cheap! If thats the case then go your route. Good luck. So far I'm very happy with the parts I bought. The only thing that I'm a little disappointed in is the time Dinan is taking to make more performance parts for this car.
One last question: are you buying dinan to maintain the warranty? I only ask because I was under the impression that if you wanted to receive the points and stay within warranty an authorized dealer would have to do the install. I know that when my car was worked on by an authorized dealer all of my info went to Dinan (VIN). |

I will hit up the local Dinan dealer tomorrow. Going to see what kind of deal they can give me on the springs and install. If I don't like it, will just order them online and find a tuning shop.

Yup - he actually sold Dinan years ago, but just recently decided to leave entirely for the Ford racing team, iirc.
