Ebay Dinan Suspension

[JLac]

I was browsing on Ebay and I saw this item. Someone jump on this! Great deal, Buy it Now for $800 for the Dinan Stage 3 Suspension with only 350 miles! I would get this if I didn't already have my suspension! Hm, maybe this is too good to be true. Anyways, here's the link!

Boy, I don't know, it looks like a lot more than 350 miles there.

I can vouch for the quality of the Dinan suspension (I just put on Stage 2 about three months ago, love it!), but I'm skeptical about why someone would put a suspension on for only 350miles and then take it off.....? :confused

[rommelrules]

Only 350 miles? Hmmm... And where are the anti-roll bars?
Shouldn't they be included in a Stage 3? I don't see them mentioned.

Who knows? Maybe it is a good deal after all...

sick. thats stg.3.

Low mileage could be attributed to maybe the seller bought it and then wanted better adjustability or thought the package was too soft.

Just some thoughts....I too am not affiliated with the seller.

Stage 3 has the anti-roll bars which aren't mentioned. So this is most likely stage 2...the shocks and springs and camber plates...what is the drop with these springs??anyone know? Are they still the eibach?

Actually stage 2 adds the anit-roll bars and stage 3 adds the camber plates.

Its like a stage 3 minus the roll bars which I believe are eibach (as are the springs).

I have the dinan stage I suspension, and Ive loved it. That includes just the Konis, and the springs...Our cars take to this setup like a fish to water. IT definitely lowers the car, mostly in back. The tops of the tires now disappear behind the quarterpanel. But i can still fit the tip of my forefinger, flatwise, between the rubber and the fender. Thats with my 8.5x17" fikses, which have a 37.7mm offset, meaning they are bout 3mm more to the outside than the OE rims... Point is, even though they are lowered, you shouldnt have a problem running stock wheels and rubber.. A definite upgrade must if you care about ride and handling..

if he could produce the original receipt of his purchasing the Dinan suspension... the date on the receipt...

if he had the suspension installed by a Dinan dealer, they will have the mileage written down on the receipt.. compare that with the current mileage and you will know about how many miles were put on the suspension.

He willing to work with one the price. I email him and he willing to lower the price to $700 for local pickup. I still think it too expensive for used item

[JLac]

Used Koni shocks can run you about 400. A set of used sprints will run you another 150, and used camber plates probably another 100-200. Plus, the Dinan kit is a direct install. No need to gut your OE struts. A pretty good deal for $700 or $800 if you ask me. IIRC, Dinan points are also transferable, so if you are a Dinan nut, then here is your chance to build up some points to get the little Dinan badge without paying the outrageous Dinan prices.

Once again, I am not affiliated with Dinan or the seller. Just trying to be helpful.

Looks like a good deal for the not so super aggressive autox/track guys here. Does anyone know what the adjustablity of the shocks are in the package? are they single adjustable w/ a knob at the top? or double adjustable?

>>Plus, the Dinan kit is a direct install<<

You mean, since hes buying them used, right? Cause new, they certainly do require front strut gutting, as with any Koni installation.. AT least, the sure did on my Stage I install!

You are probably right. :D

What I meant is the kit that he is selling LOOKS to be a direct install. It looks like the Koni struts come with the strut housing.
