Dinan Sways on M6?

I was wondering if anyone has done the Dinan Sways on their M6/M6GC? If possible, has anyone done them with the Comp Package and/or with a Gran Coupe? I have them on my M5 and love them, but am not sure it's worth it with the CP -- I'm thinking no, but I could be wrong. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I swapped mine out for the comp pack anti roll bars front and back. Not sure how much better dinan's would be.

*Edit - I just realized you said you swapped to the CP sways -- I thought you meant you swapped your CP sways for the Dinan's. OK, nevermind then -- I'll stay with the stock CP sways for now.

What's really going to be the question for me is if I do KW's on the GC. I've had them on the M5 forever and absolutely love them. It's going to depend on the ride height with the new wheels I guess. Worse case, I do the sleeve kit, as long as it doesn't sacrifice rebound and compression. Time will tell...

I am really impressed with my coilovers. I set them up where they feel like the stock suspension over bumps. I thought I was going to be screwed with a rough ride but even lowered just about 1 inch the ride is like stock but handles fantastic.

I ordered the DINAN front/rear sway bars today (needed an excuse to spend more money on the car) so once installed I can tell you how much they help. I will more than likely adjust them to the stiffest setting.

@Hunter5179 - You installed the KW coilovers or KW sleeves?

I just installed KW suspension kit and swapped out the H&R's on the gran coupe. Wow !! Car handles amazing. So much better then the H&R's.
I would deff recommend them.
But, Dinan has a kit about to release and theirs has more components in their kit. I would be interested what the difference may be.

+1 -- I have the KW sleeve over kit on my M6 F13 and it handles and rides great.

Haha Brian. I installed the coilovers. The sleeve over kit wasn't available and if it was I probably would have tried it but I'm definitely not looking back because I love my setup and even with 21's my ride is not compromised. Plus I got a sweet deal on a new set of KW V3's with EDC delete so I am happy.

OK, so I guess the question is, since I have the Comp Package, is there a difference? They are a HUGE difference on my E60 M5, over stock, but this is a completely different beast. I'm sure if I ask Dinan they'll tell me it's worth upgrading.

I look forward to your feedback -- any chance the two of you can drive each others cars? LOL!
