Spring comparison (Dinan vs ACS)
I'm getting ready to purchase springs for my new to me 2011 550xi M-sport. Has anyone driven the Dinan and ACS back to back? I'm curious if the major difference is the drop or if the are truly different spring rates, etc.
I'd like to have the ACS drop, but when I add 20 or 21" wheels, I'd rather the ride not be like my 996 Turbo on PSS9 track settings. How did you all decide what to buy?

I have not tried Dinan springs, but I can say the ACS springs are awesome! They are not harsh and wont destroy your kidneys like your other cars did! I love the drop(Vossen 20s) and it handles great. I would highly recommend ACS!

+1 on ACS . I have them and love the. Fantastic ride and handles so much more better. I believe the Dinan springs are similar to the msport springs. Car will still sit pretty high.

Since I have the M-sport already, does that mean zero drop with the Dinan? Guess I'm kinda leaning towards Dinan so that I can get my badge after tune and exhaust.

I replaced the springs and shocks in my Audi S5 and regretted it, but I think that was more a function of the Bilstein HD's than the H&R's I put on.
