BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

[BMR Tech]

Now that I am in the office, and not out of state at a tradeshow, I can look further into this.

I am going to grab a front set of springs from this latest batch and throw them in the spring tester and look further into this.

It does appear that the spring you have, RevB, is a dual rate spring. Usually when we make a dual rate spring, the initial/first rate is used simply to take up the slop to ensure the spring is mounted firmly - and that initial rate is usually not part of the working rate once installed.

I will update once I get some data.

@Niz55 - I also have to consider the GT350 Dampers in this equation.

If the relationship of the perch to the rest of the strut is not an exact match to the OEM GT struts, it can also play a factor.

We see this sometimes on Bilstein and Koni dampers...where, just installing those struts with no other changes can change the ride height up to 3/8"~ or so.

We have the RevB spring on one of our cars (PPGT) for months now, and it is 1.3" lower than stock height as I type this.

Vendors should always note on any changes made to a redesign part specially Springs. When you are looking for a spring that bmr claims to lower 1.2 it needs to be right at 1.2 not 1.7.

Bmr is not going to re design the spring because of one individual.

When you had the rev. 1 springs did you have the same drop and were you using the GT350 struts at that time?

Anyone running BMR Performance Springs with a Cervinis C-Series Chin Spoiler? I already scrape occasionally and am wondering how much this will affect it.

Thanks, Todd! I'm really happy with the stance and ride quality. Now time for an alignment.

Looks good. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who took almost a full days work to install. :cheers:

Thanks :cheers: The rears were pretty easy but the front was a pain because I had a hard time getting the pressed strut bolts out.

pressed strut bolts???

The splined bolts on the front lower struts.

Ah I haven't done mine yet. how did you get them out?

 

[Rambl3r]

Ah I haven't done mine yet. how did you get them out?

Most of them came out by banging them with a 3LB hammer but I had to use a ball joint press for one stubborn bolt. Just to break the seal, then hammer it out.

Getting the OEM springs out and the new ones in in the back is a pain in the f'ing tooter. The front is like a walk in the park if you have ever done struts...

But CJPP makes it seem so easy...
