  1. BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

    SP089 min lowering front and SP082 rears. Perfect, practical stance. Thank you Grant Zippel for organising American car cruises (for the past 29 years) here in Adelaide, South Australia and for his photography.
  2. FR Track Pack and brake upgrades

    I guess (hope) the instructors also told you to bump up that tyre pressure to at least 38psi for the track. Don't want to overheat that rubber or roll a tyre off.
  3. Aussie Mustang - Oil change warning

    Mine came on at 3500km and the oil had been changed at 1500km six months ago. Went to dealership and service manager quickly scrolled through menu in centre dash and re-set oil monitor. Have a look through the menu there and you should be able to re-set it yourself if you feel it has come...
  4. SPRING RATES & DROPS: ALL IN ONE THREAD!!

    Yes, I'm sick of having to search for this thread. Please make a sticky.
  5. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    My before measurements were, front 717mm and rear 728mm. I have to take back what I said because your rears have come down a lot more than I would have suspected. Is the 'vert a bit heavier at the back? Seems unlikely 'tho.
  6. BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

    Yes, these are the classic "this is how it should have come from the factory" modification.
  7. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    Thanks Bob, I really haven't had a chance to drive it far yet; pouring rain at lunchtime yesterday (as you'd know), on the way home from doing the springs. They are only rated as 5lb/in more at the front and 12b/in at the rear, so I don't expect a big change. I think stage 2 for me (CB005...
  8. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    This is why I did the before and after measurements because if anything my 22mm front and 12mm rear drops should increase rake compared to 25mm all round. I suspect no springs really drop the rears a full 25mm and only BMR quote a more realistic 12mm. See these 'after' measurements; Front...
  9. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    Installed BMR SP089 min drop fronts and SP082 rears. All went in very smoothly and before and after measurements show they give the advertised drop exactly; 22mm at the front and 12mm at the rear. :)
  10. BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

    SP089 minimal drop front (aka 'perfect drop') and SP082 rears. EXACTLY 22mm drop front and 12mm rear as advertised. Measuring before and after I found the distance to the lip of the guard at the front dropped from 717mm to 695mm; ... and at the rear it went from 728mm to...
  11. Stone chips - fix?

    David (or anyone else), did you get this?
  12. From BMW ---> S550, dialing in the suspension

    Is there a way to identify?
  13. From BMW ---> S550, dialing in the suspension

    I agree with you that the Mustang will spin the inside rear unbelievably easily; low speed, minimal throttle opening, moderate steering angle. We in Oz have the 3.55 diffs - not Torsen I believe. Otherwise our cars are mostly PP (6 spot brakes, PP springs and shocks, PP wheels) although no...
  14. BMR SP089 & SP082 install prep

    My BMR springs (Min drop SP089 fronts and perf. SP082 rears) are on their way to Australia right now and I'm making sure I'm ready for the install. A few points I'd like to be clear on; - Shorter bump stops. Probably unnecessarily I have also purchased the Ford Performance bump stops. The...
  15. REDLINE TUNING QuickLIFT Plus Hood Struts - 20% off this week only

    Thanks Bob, Yes, I was slightly concerned I'd done something wrong as it was all going together 'too' well! But just a great product that is engineered well to fit properly. I can't understand why you'd need the smaller 'RHD' bonnet brackets. Certainly the longer ones do make more sense in...
  16. REDLINE TUNING QuickLIFT Plus Hood Struts - 20% off this week only

    All installed, and was able to use the longer US brackets for the bonnet without any modification. Bonnet still easy to close and drop shut from 15cm or so. Stays up nicely. Quality product.
  17. What mods to do next?

    NOS? Another thought: someone needs to build a modern interpretation of the Mad Max Interceptor based on the Mustang...
  18. REDLINE TUNING QuickLIFT Plus Hood Struts - 20% off this week only

    Thanks guys, I've ordered some too. Are you going to expanding your range in time? I think we need someone to be offering BMR suspension parts in the Southern Hemisphere.
  19. Looking for best springs for daily driving

    SP089 fronts are about 22mm and the SP082 rears about 12mm. So not huge but certainly noticeable and still a slight rake.
  20. Looking for best springs for daily driving

    This thread highlights the compromise that suspension is. Comfort vs. control. Cool low look vs. practical height for daily use. Cost. I think you need to decide what your philosophy is regarding car modifications. For me it is to never reduce drivability of the car. My car is...
