Here's a 2011 M3 that came in for a slightly lower stance and improved handling. Dinan's Stage 1 suspension kit was a good fit to give this BMW everything it needed. While helping to reduce body roll while retaining full EDC functionality, it lowers the car by 1/2" in front and rear for improved suspension geometry and an even more aggressive stance. We added the suspension kit and performed a full street alignment to keep everything performing flawlessly.




Parts Installed:
BMW M3 E9x Stage 1 Suspension System (EDC Cars Only) by Dinan



To the build!



Time to remove OEM front springs




And since we love comparing the OEM parts to the new, we always take at least one or two pictures of side by sides.
The Dinan next to the OE spring

And the Dinan next to the OE strut mount (OE is the left and Dinan the right)


And the Dinan front spring is installed


On to the rear springs



Rear spring left and the new Dinan right (Does the Dinan spring seem super shiny to anyone else or is it just "new part glow"? )


Dinan spring in


Removing the rear shocks





We reinstall the shocks, with some nice new bushings, put the carpet back and off to the alignment rack.





With the alignment done, this bad boy is ready to go conquer the street again.

You forgot the E36 M3 bumpstops Dinan uses.

It's basically Eibach springs, E36 M3 bumpstops and shaved stock spring perches.
