Anyone running the Dinan lowering springs?

[Timmy_Jones]

Am curious if anyone is running these? They seem a bit ambiguous that you should or maybe have to run their covers and bumpstops? @Dinan_Engineering can you confirm? If you need the springs and their ‘kit’ the price is starting to approach used MSS springs.

Maybe best to stick with the Eibach which already come with new bumpstops for no extra charge.

If other lowering kits offer a shorter bump stop, then you should probably get a shorter bump stop for the dinan kit. Shorter spring means reduced shock travel and you don’t really want to ride on the bump stops.

Looks amazing. How does it ride? Did you get the springs + their other comfort kit with bumpstops?

I did , I can’t compare it to others because I’ve never experienced them. However they ride good to me.

This is what it looks on my 2021 with BC forged wheels. I also have their bumpstop kit, the only issue I had is that the boot that came on the front bump stops were too long and crunched themselves so I had to cut them off but other than that they look good and ride almost like oem and definitely can feel a difference in cornering.

@SilverMk5 - I'm thinking of using the Dinan lowering springs too. I like how your car looks. Is your car a manual or automatic?

 

[concept]

Features:

• Vehicle lowered 1" (25mm) in the front and 0.7" (18 mm) in the rear (3.0T GR Supra)
• Vehicle lowered 1.1" (28mm) in the front and 0.5" (13 mm) in the rear (2.0T GR Supra)
• 25% increase in spring stiffness in front and rear (3.0T GR Supra)
• 71% increase in spring stiffness in front and 38% in the rear (2.0T GR Supra)
• Substantial reduction in body roll
• Preset to prevent spring sag
• Includes (2) front and (2) rear linear rate springs (Ride Quality and Handling Kit sold separately)

My guess is that the added stiffness will be noticeable.
I guess the auto and manual use the same springs?
Would the alignment need to be adjusted?

Would the alignment need to be adjusted?

After lowering the car 1"? Of course it would.

I went Whiteline, just for the customer service aspect and you don’t need other parts they sell. Can’t recommend Whiteline enough.
