BMR Suspension Goodybag

[Furore]

Hey all,

Getting the following BMR parts installed on my 2015 Mustang next week:

BMR-SP089 Front Performance Springs
BMR-SP088 Drag Springs
Stock Front Struts
VIK-B358AM Viking Crusader Rear Shocks
BMR-CB005 Cradle Lockout Kit
BMR-TR005 Toe Rods
BMR-TCA045 Vertical Links
BMR-BK055 Lower Control Arm Bearing

What should I be looking for charge/hour wise? The shop I am using installed my Whipple and has done all the aftermarket work on my car. I trust them not to rip me off, I just want to walk in with a good knowledge of time.

Thanks!

I would say about 7 hrs labor.

Another question.. am I missing anything? Another member told me I should go ahead and add Ford Performance M-5A460-M Knuckle to Toe Link Bearing Assembly to the list.

yes i would add those bearings. As well as maybe a CC plate kit up front. For the rear i would add in a diff bushing or lockout kit.

I would agree. But no more than 7. Most of those parts you take off anyway doing the springs.

Feedback from kelly:

The FRPP Toe Bearing is an awesome part...BUT, if you get the TR005...you can simply remove the bearings from the OEM Toe Links and then you now have the FRPP Toe Knuckle bearings. (It already comes on the car apparently)

Everything got here and the parts are fantastic.

Lucky me.. My installer noticed that my caliper bolt was missing and this could have been catastrophic:





Lucky also just some minor damage to my wheel:



Some images from the install and a side by side comparison of stock components:













Hats off to the John, Nate, and Tyson at Tork Motorsports. These guys have done all the work on my car, and they are pretty righteous dudes.

Boom! Look at that!

How does it feel now? I bet you love it!?

One thing I notice is no bump stops on the Vikings....I would definitely have them install the bump stops with them trimmed per our instructions that come with the springs.

Also - make sure, if you have not already, to get a 4 wheel alignment ;)

I haven't had a chance to drive it yet. Waiting on that caliber bolt overnighted from Ford.

I will forward the bump stop message to my installer.

That's a definite.

how did that caliper bolt go missing

My installer said it was probably not correctly torqued from the factory or something. No one has worked on that part of the car before. Thank god I got this done before that caliper worked off.
