BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

[SoFloEco]

After driving around for a week on my Performance Springs/Cradle Lockout combination, I've got to say that I couldn't be happier with both. Getting past the look (which is perfect, in my eyes), there is a noticeable improvement in firmness and stability over both smooth and rough surfaces. There is a minor communication of some larger imperfections in the road, but that is more due to the Cradle Lockout, I believe, than the springs - and is not at all unpleasant or even unexpected.
I've read in this thread that the car feels more 'planted' with these two modifications, and now, having done them, i know exactly what they mean. It feels more sure-footed around turns and there's a noticeable (and welcome) decrease in front-end dive under hard braking. I love the combo and would recommend it to all. Nice job, BMR - great products at a reasonable price. Sway bars next!.

Wow thank you for the AWESOME review!

I try as much as possible to let the customer / end user provide the feedback - and that is likely why our CB005 and SP080 Springs literally fly out of our facility. We have a hard time holding stock on these pieces, and it is simply because they work!

Thank you for the words. We are very appreciative and are happy to know our products back themselves up! :cheers:

BTW [MENTION=10376]SoFloEco[/MENTION] - I just saw your sig. Our cars (my daily, not the drag car) are almost exactly modded! haha

You are obviously a man of good taste, sir. I forgot to mention, that on the two occasions I have had to launch 'ostentatiously', I have been greeted with a complete lack of wheel hop! I expect I might encounter some mild hop on a very sticky surface, like PBIR dragstrip, but on the street, zero wheel-hop so far.

 

[BMR Tech]

NICE! Sometimes it is hit or miss on the wheel hop specifically....but the CB005 will definitely give you a better all around performing S550!

Great to hear!

Enjoy!

Also, forgot to thank you for the awesome tech support you rendered when I called Tech Help last week after running into an install problem. Your advice was 'spot-on' and allowed the rest of the install to go smoothly.

Competent Tech Support - what a concept!! Just wanted to thank you publicly for the help, Kelly.

I try and do my best my friend.

For those on the fence about a 1.25" drop up front: I went to a local supermarket just now and purposely parked over a standard wheel-stop. Here are the pics:

Not much clearance, but enough.

Top picture is before, bottom is after install. BMR minimal drop front springs / drags springs in the rear.

Here is a great video by AM on our Drag Springs!

Correct me if I am wrong, but my rear drag springs looked nothing like the springs on the table. Why is that?

They just had some random springs on the table for show.

 

[BMR Tech]

Yup ^

They do that quite often. Lol

Am I right in guessing the rear drop on the SP080 is more that 0.5" ?
I had Steeda progressive springs on my ecoboost and they said the rear drop was 1" and these seem to be about the same

I'm running the SP089/SP082 combo so the rears are the same as in the SP080 kit. Mine dropped exactly 1/2" in the rear.

No, the sprung mass contribution at the rear of the car is nearly identical to the GT, so I'd expect the same 0.5" drop.
