[BmacIL]

So what are your thoughts on the BMR handling springs for a daily?

What tool did you use to compress the springs to install them on the struts? Did you rent a spring compressor?

Probably, they're free to rent from any auto store.

I will be doing this install soon and want ot make sure I get the right tool. sometimes they have multiple types of the tool for different applications. Was hoping he had a number of the tool he used.

I am a mechanic for a living so I have a wall mounted spring compressor. You only need it to remove the original spring,.... You can install the bmr spring without one.


The ride is great for daily driving.

I think the stance shown on your pics done immediately after install look great - not too 'gangster' low.

Has it changed at all over the last week? I'm thinking BMR's springs won't sag over time but does that also mean they don't settle?

Would you be so kind as to measure clearance now under the front lip, (mm if you can)?

Thanks.

I will measure it today.

Really? Very interesting. You can compress it enough by hand to get the top mount on and line up the strut bolts?

Because the spring is shorter,...you can put it on without the spring compressor

Yeah I just didn't think it was that much shorter. Nice.

Good to know ride quality is there still. It's hard to believe because the rates are like 82% and 40% stiffer than GT PP springs, front and rear.

I just measured my non-pp car at the splitter and got ~9". Seems like more than the 1.25" inches of drop they state even with the slightly different splitter.

I think the PP splitter is lower?

Plus do you have the same diameter tires?

We have tested our handling springs on several PP and non PP GT cars, and the PP all lowered right at about 1.25" and the non PP were all in the 1" range.

Drops may vary....naturally. But they should not be drastically off.

I'll probably be ordering a set of these soon. Thanks for taking my quick call today, Kelly.

[MENTION=18243]Simmons-Racing[/MENTION] do you have any additional pictures after the front end settled a bit? I imagine it dropped them a touch?
