Dinan and b8 bilstein- front sitting high?
Hey all
So I had installed on my 2011 335 xdrive b8 bilstein and dinan springs as some may have seen on another thread. The rear sat lower a bit looks good but we seem to see this a lot what the heck is the deal with the front? I did replace the strut mount with a Sachs from fcp euro Any ideas why the from didn't lower at all? Is it the bilstein?

Thanks here is a better pic the car was uneven surface last pic above it's good it's a little bumpy and hard on shitty road surfaces I'd say the comfort level is a 5 from 1-10 can't imaging hr springs - wonder if the eibach pair better with bilstein or if I went with fsd koni with the dinan instead I think the bilstein are just beast of shocks and contribute to the super hard ride now

The front looks pretty high to me, for B8's.
You probably should have got the bilstein b12 kit to be honest |

You need a solid week of driving at least for the suspension to fully settle in. Like others said, Dinan springs are known to maintain stock ride height, or very minimal lowering. Like indiscernible lowering.

I have had the Dinan/B8 on my 330i since 2018, and it has the same reverse rake look as yours. It never really "settled" after installation, but on the bright side the performance has been a night&day improvement versus OEM.

I have B8's on my 335i but it had M-Sport suspension and had proper rake with the front arch sitting right above the tire.

Blew a shock and switched to H&R springs with Koni FSD much better ride quality. Also the rake is gone without the lowering perches. |
