BMR Handling springs

[John S.]

So these ride fine on stock PP struts? I have a set of Performance springs because I thought Kelly said they were too much spring for the PP struts. I autoX monthly and would rather have a set of these if the everyday ride quality is good.

[MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] do you have any local cars with the handling springs on stock PP struts? I'd like to feel them for myself if you do.

I Autox all the time myself including Pro Solo, Tours, and Nationals.

Unfortunately there are no events right now to give it a real test,... but with my aggressive driving they feel great.

[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?

I will take some pictures today.

Maybe if the co-driver buys the tires before then, I can go

Thanks! Looking good.

Any full car pictures? Don't make another trip for more epics, only if you have them.

the drop is very minimal according to these photos. my car with the steeda ultra lights def drops more all around. i doubt these high rate BMR springs will ever settle and drop more than what is shown. guys need to remember dropping and slamming the car down isn't the right approach for maximum handling unless it is a full blow race car that is professionally dialed in.

Looks perfect, probably only 0.5-0.75" drop, with the handling we're looking for.
[MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] I do also recall you saying the handling springs are a bit much for the stock PP dampers? The wheels you have probably makes some difference here too.

If you look at bmrs pictures on the stock wheels and tires, it looks lower than these.

Also, every car settles from initial installation, it's simply how much.

Looking forward to installing mine in the next few weeks.

I thought that the handling springs were supposed to work well with the pp dampers? is this untrue? I'm not ready to buy after market dampers yet

I am leaning heavily towards the handling springs based on Simmons Racing's feedback here, but would like more info as well. I know the FRPP dampers plus the handling springs will be amazing, but that's another ~$550 depending on where you find them.

my concern is if I am okay with these springs and stock pp shocks or do I HAVE to upgrade shocks to something like the ford racing ones

Based on what Kelly [MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] has said you do not have to, and your car will be fine (though probably a little underdamped), but it is recommended.

how will I know that the car is under dampened. what does that feel like.
