jeff4598 - not many strut/ shock upgrade options for the M2, especially if you are wanting to use a HAS kit like the Dinan or KW. The Bilstein B6s won't work as the spring perches are welded on the strut body and cannot be pressed out to accommodate the endlink attachments of an aftermarket HAS kit.

One option I know of is to get the Koni adtjustables from TC Kline as they sell them separately: https://www.tcklineracing.com/index....y&Category=926

However the cost of the Konis and the Dinan kit would place you squarely at the price range of getting a full coilover set up.
