I believe the only person on this forum that has the Dinan M6 GC Coil-Over is "diononiz". You would want to reach out to him for any first hand impressions of the systems but I believe he has made a mini-review of it in the past if you just look through his old posts.

I installed the Dinan suspension kit on a F10 M5 yesterday.
I will post some pics up for you.
Suspension height was adjusted again after pics taken.
Pics of the shocks are rear for comparison to the original setup.
On the M6 Gran Coupe I installed the KW kit as the Dinan was not released yet.

The coilovers are amazing. Great balance between ride and handling. I have my car lowered about .75 and it rides very close to stock with a significant reduction in body roll. I also recently added the sway bars as well. I highly recommend you install both at the same time. You can PM directly if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the feedback guys. How many hours for install?

You can easily install them in about 5-6 hours with taking the time to fine tune your height adjustment. The rear take up the most time (Have to remove the rear speaker covers to get access to upper mount bolts). The front are very easy.
Kit comes with a very detailed instruction booklet that makes it easy for anyone to understand.
This kit is more detailed then KW. From installing and driving both I prefer the Dinan over KW

I really wish these were available for the non-GC M6.
