Trying to decide which to go with. But I'm planning on staying small in the rear than the 19mm offered with Dinan. I have the factory 15mm bar waiting. Of course I can't get just the Dinan front bar. So that puts me with H&R as the only other awd front bar option.
I'm really happy with the Dinan bar. There are plenty of adjustments and I don't find it too stiff like the H&R bar. My front spring rates are about the stiffest BMW offers for the F3x (F33 M-Perf front springs) and the middle position on the bar seems just about right (rear-most position was a bit soft). With the H&R bar on the softest setting, and even softer front springs (F8x ZCP), the bar was way too stiff and really hurt ride quality and understeer. I wouldn't recommend the H&R bar unless running something like stock springs or maybe up to F8x non-ZCP rates.

I believe the Dinan 19mm tubular rear bar is about the same rate as a 16-17mm solid bar.

It would be a shame if members of this community blamed you for UUC's failures if you launched a group buy for them. I don't want you to lose your shirt over an unreliable business partner like UUC.

It would be a great opportunity for the community if you were able to put together a group buy for Dinan's bars (or even just their front bar)!
