Dinan Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension for BMW M2 / M2 Competition F87 (2016-2021)

The Dinan Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension D190-8701 is a height-adjustable spring kit for the F87 M2 and M2 Competition. It is not a damper replacement: the kit works with the factory non-EDC front struts and rear shocks, swapping the stock springs for Dinan springs on threaded perches so you can set ride height yourself.

Front springs are about 18 percent stiffer and rears about 5 percent stiffer than stock, with helper springs at the rear to keep the springs seated at full droop. Dinan-spec progressive bump stops and included packers let you fine-tune bump-stop clearance, which Dinan says matters as much as the springs for ride and handling. The aim is less body roll, less dive under braking and less squat under power, with a ride Dinan calls civilized.

Up to 1 inch of lowering in front and 1.5 inches in the rear is possible depending on tires, but Dinan recommends about 0.75 inch front and 0.5 inch rear. Fitment is the 2016-2018 M2 and the 2019-2021 M2 Competition, matching two other retailers. The M2 CS has Adaptive M suspension and needs extra accelerometer mounts and hardware from Dinan, so call us before ordering for a CS.

Installation means removing and disassembling the struts and shocks, fitting Dinan's endlink mounts and threaded perches, then setting ride height and getting an alignment. Dinan quotes about 9.2 hours of labor and 3 Dinan points. Because the kit allows extra travel, the installer must check tire clearance after installation and after any height or wheel change. Emission code 5: it does not affect emissions and is legal in all 50 states. Coverage is Dinan's limited warranty: the remainder of the vehicle's factory limited warranty (up to 4 years / 50,000 miles) or 2 years with unlimited miles, whichever is greater. It ships in one carton of about 24.4 x 18.9 x 11.3 inches at roughly 27.8 pounds. Dinan installation instructions (PDF).
