Any other sources for Dinan Springs and Comfort Kit?

Dinan is backordered through 11/19 but I was going to install within a few weeks if possible. Looking for another source if you have one.

TIA

I recommend the eibach prokit as an alternative. Slightly lower drop, excellent comfort and handling. I simply trimmed the bump stops about an inch, then sanded them to convex cone to effectively make them progressive again.

I would love to. But I do zero tinkering with my rig. Looking to keep it "OEM+" with something that works out of the box if possible.

Bumps stops are not really necessary at this level of drop. I just did it cause I always do.

Thank you guys!

I'm going with Dinan because of the minimal drop and overall functionality reported here by another member. I know, crazy that I like the minimal drop right? That's not how I originally felt. But after driving for a while and looking at how close my M is to the ground already, now I'm just looking to reduce fender gap. And of course improve handling as much as possible.

Another member wrote up his experience with Dinan and I liked what I heard. (Reduced fender gap, tighter handling but no bouncing, etc.)
