Supporting mods for lowered daily driver.

[cyclonetron]

Currently I’m lowered on Eibach pro kit springs. Right now I’ve got the BMR cradle lockout kit. Aside from better wheels and tires, is there any other must have supporting mods for a lowered vehicle? I don’t track it, just daily spirited driving.

Better shocks and struts, and BMRs soon-to-be released SM760 rear shock mounts.

A good clue for when would be when the ride gets a little 'floaty' - when the OE dampers + some age & wear on them won't be providing enough rebound damping for what the slightly stiffer springs really need.

For dampers, I would strongly recommend these with your springs:

Awesome, that was actually the set I was thinking of going with.

Sounds good. The stock dampers are working well for now. Only have 16.5k miles on them, 500 of those being with the Eibach springs. I'll probably swap out in a year or two.

I’ll echo shocks mounts and dampers. A nice-to-have would be a 2 or 4 point kmember brace; it really adds some good steering feel, especially mid-turn.

Sounds good. I think my next mod will be the BMR 2 point brace, and then maybe the GT350r sway bars.

Thanks for this thread. I'm lowered on pro kits as well and was wondering where to best spend my money next in the chassis/suspension. I don't have anything other than springs suspension/chassis wise.

There has also been some great feedback on installing the Steeda roll-center/bumpsteer kit on lowered cars.

I have these bits and am just waiting for spring to install; I’ll let you know how they turn out.

Great. The Steeda bumpstop kit is actually on my wish list. I'm trying to decide if I want to do that or the GT350r sway bars next.
