I have 72k miles on my '14 335 M Sport. I want to improve the car's grip and feel, but I don't want to lower it. I also want to keep wheels and tires stock, so Dinan Springs are my best option. It barely lowers the car, and it should give me a more planted feel. (Hopefully, enhance the steering feel as well) Anyway, will it be OK to just get the springs done without replacing original shocks just yet. It's an M Sport with the Adaptive Suspension, and 19 in 403 m wheels.

With 72k miles on the car your stock struts are probably nearly shot if not already. If you're going to go through the hassle of installing springs it makes a lot of sense to do your struts.

Honestly... you should replace shocks as well. I did springs only at around 50k and by 55k I was doing the entire job over again because my ride was so bouncy.

I do not have adaptive suspension however.

Thank you for the input. I will definitely wait it out a bit, that way I can change both. Maybe I'll just do the Dinan Shockware for now.

I think that's my best bet. I will wait until I need replacement is needed, then I will change out the springs at the same time. I may just do the Dinan Shockware for now.
