Has anyone here installed this kit?

My fb G42 forum friend just had it installed and he is loving it. Tighter steering feel and more responsive overall. Any other success stories with it?

Cheers

Haven’t seen anyone with it on the m240 but it had nothing but good reviews on the f30 platform.

I plan on picking this up after winter as everyone says it really improving steering feel and turn in.

I talked to a local Dinan installer about the cost of the installation (because I heard it's a pita since you have to remove both front control arms ) and he told me that he'll gladly take my $ for the installation but he advised not to do it unless I track the car a lot. He said that by replacing the factory rubber bushings with these, it would make your car unlivable as a daily because you'd feel every rock, twig, and crack in the pavement (not even talking about potholes that are common around where I live). I think I'll pass for now.
