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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
:)
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
