BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

[BMR Tech]

@ BMR Tech: what are the alignment spec recommendations for this spring setup? Been needing to get mine in for an alignment (just burning up the stock pirellies right now so haven't been too concerned about tire wear). I do have camber / caster plates up front as well, so camber, caster and toe specs for front, camber and toe specs for rear would be great. Application is aggressive street driving with occasional track (for fun, not competitive at this point).

Here is my "Street Handling" recommendation.

Here is my "Street Handling" recommendation.

Any reason you run less rear camber than front when the factory camber specs seem to be the opposite for regular GT's? I know Ford does run less rear camber than front for the GT350 (-1.1 front and -0.75 rear), but the GT350 is NOT a regular GT.

I didn't put camber plates on mine so I hope it will align ok. It goes straight right now but the steering wheel is slightly off center.

I didn't do caster / camber plates on my Ecoboost and Ford Performance Street X lowering springs when I had that and didn't have any issues with things being out of spec. I did caster / camber plates this time around because I wanted to do occasional track and maybe some auto x and wanted to have the ability to at least adjust the fronts to get a lot of camber, so unless your doing that I don't think you'll run into issues with adjustment range (there isn't much on the car stock as far as caster / chamber goes).

Because I do not like the factory alignment specifications.

A: It wears tires too quickly.

B: The rear camber gain is plentiful - so running more static camber is not required.

C: Factory specifications are not conducive to helping with traction or calming wheel hop during WOT.

D: It is engineered more for broad and stock component use - not for aftermarket.

E: Often times "stock specifications" can lead to more tramlining effects during high speed driving.

Hope that helps.

That is very helpful, especially E because I do run a second set of wide offset wheels. RTR Tech 7 19x9.5 (+33mm offset) on a sticky set 275/40R19's, I definitely notice tram-lining on the street, but I do like the added stability and feedback from the suspension in corners, love the looks. I don't really have much tram-lining with the stock PP wheels which have all seasons on for cold months. Maybe this will help reduce that effect a bit on the RTR Tech 7's.

BMR SP080 installed today on mine. Before and after pics from today (sorry for the dirty car). I just love the new lowered look...just enough!

Thanks for posting these photos. Its not easy to find good pics of EBs with SP080s. Couple questions, what size tires are you running and are you using stock PP dampers? If so, how is the ride? Thanks!!!

You are welcome. I was a little unsure before pulling the trigger on what it would look like on my EB but the members on this thread were very helpful.
To answer your questions, I am running Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks which are 275x40x19 on my 19x10 SVE wheels. I am using the stock PP dampers. I have only driven the car for one day since I just had the springs installed yesterday. I haven't noticed any significant change as far as stiff / bouncy with the new springs...and our roads are really bad here in Michigan. It still feels like stock comfortable ride, I assume the PP suspension and struts have a lot to do with it. I am VERY happy so far. Now I just need to find me some winding, bendy roads to really test it out...as well as another track day.

Great! Thanks again. I look forward to seeing more photos of your car!

Updated Pictures with my Minimum Drop Front & Rears with Koni Yellows. Once I have boost (more weight in front or switch to a 20" Wheel) the wheel gap will be perfect, IMO.

SP080 Thank you to Kelly for all his help and allowing me to sneak in on a good deal. Repeat customer of BMR and the springs are awesome. Firmed the car up perfectly and the stance speaks for itself.

Does anyone have a good way to torque the rear drivers side inner camber link bolt? I can't get a 3/8 torque wrench in there because of the fuel tank filler tube. On the passenger side it's open and I can easily fit the torque wrench. I even tried a crows foot extension and no dice. Only a box end wrench will fit, so I can only get it hand tight and am guessing at the approximate torque. And advice would be appreciated, not sure if there's a specially tool extension that might work that I could attach my toque wrench to and just increase the torque setting by x amount to compensate...

I want to give all of you BMR Customers and Supporters a MASSIVE thanks!

One thing we believe in at BMR is providing the consumer with the best value. We are firm believers in driving down costs and passing those savings on to the consumer. Since that is uncommon in the aftermarket industry, we believe that is what makes us stand out and will ensure we are always at the top of our game, as well as at the top of the industry. Putting the consumer FIRST is our priority, as is evident by our pricing model.

Due to our success with our SP080 Springs, we are now able to have them made in extremely large batches which has driven the cost down at this point enough to lower our price to $189.95 for the kit.

Thanks again everyone! The support from you is priceless!

The car looks phenomenal! I’ll most likely be going with these springs for my ecoboost. Any further comments on the ride quality after some more seat time?

 

[Det_Riot]

BMR Drag Springs, this was immediately after install, I think they’ve settled and drop a little since then, cars getting some paint love and I’ll update with settled pics!

Hi, new here, many mustangs monsters pics...

Planning to do the SP088-SP089 springs, any suggestion or comment?

Tks...
