BMR Handling springs

[BmacIL]

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

Bouncy but not like the 'PP bounce'. Harsher, higher frequency. It won't feel settled if underdamped.

like a Honda civic on lowering springs?

I should take a video to show how it handles the bumps

Probably, yeah.

[MENTION=18243]Simmons-Racing[/MENTION] I'm sure yours is a bit better than most will be because you have very light wheels (the MRR M350s). Dropping weight there will get big improvements in ride, as it's all unsprung.

i will be testing the BMR Handling with FRP shocks after the new year.

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.

I think Kelly mentioned drop is approx .5 in rear and 1.25 in front. Eitherway, the drop in the photos looks very nice indeed - moderate. I want performance springs that will improve handling and control body motions (willing to change dampers) - the drop is a secondary effect that I dont necessarily want anymore than 1 inch as I live in Seattle. These are the only springs that seem to meet that criteria. Looks like my car is gunna be BMR suspension all the way.

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.

Thanks. MustangCollector, I seriously am considering the Steeda Ultra Lights with FRPP dampers based on your suggestion, but the (1) increased drop and the (2) lack of rake makes me lean towards the BMR Handling springs. I am thinking these may work well with FRPP dampers or Koni Yellows. The rake matters as I will go with square setup, meaning, the car will have less rake that it comes from factory (the PP wheels and tires in the rear are 0.6 inch taller than front). With the Steeda Ultras, the high drop in the rear will worsen this. I like the raked look and it improves front visibility over the hood.

Thank you! You rock!

So I got a chance to Autox the car yesterday with the BMR springs on with stock shocks.

Ended up FTD and 1st in PAX.

Awesome. So you are not running the JRZ coilovers?

They are being built right now.....should have them really soon.

At least I got to try the BMR springs before hand.

That's encouraging.


Now you've got me hoping that Kelly & company did an equally good job with handling springs for my '08.
