The BMR lockout kit is not compatible with the Steeda braces. You must use the steeda subframe bushing support kit, and the alignment dowels once you have the braces.Also decided to pick up the Steeda IRS subframe braces and thinking of getting a cradle lockout kit as well.
If I read this right, the addition of the CB005 would be the most economical way to achieve the same results, yes?The BMR lockout kit is not compatible with the Steeda braces. You must use the steeda subframe bushing support kit, and the alignment dowels once you have the braces.
In terms of net effect: BMR CB005 is more or less equivalent to the Braces + Bushing Support system + alignment dowels. The dowels for the CB005 can still help just a little bit, but the front arms for the CB005 force the subframe to center around the bolt hole. Both setups, the BMR and Steeda, work well.
That's generally how I see it, yes.If I read this right, the addition of the CB005 would be the most economical way to achieve the same results, yes?
CB005 is impressive to say the least. I have had it installed for well over a year. I was initially skeptical of the claims but took the advice found in the suspension forum and got it. It does everything BMR said it would do. I spoke to Kelly Aiken (BMR Tech) about any questions I had regarding changes in performance and handling; everything he told me proved true.That's generally how I see it, yes.
You could update to the newer version of the front handling springs (7/8" drop).I have the handling springs and Koni Yellow struts/shocks along with cradle lockout and vertical links. The car handles like it's on rails. The only issue is that it's a bit too low up front. The passenger tire rubs on inner fenderwell when turning. Other then that, I love them. Nice ride quality and great handling.
I lol’dOk. You a-holes have me looking into ALL kinds of crap when all I wanted to do was lower my new car.
I've been figuring out how to best do what I'm going to be doing, and it looks like we are going all the way now. Thanks @BmacIL , when I'm sleeping on the couch next month its going to be your fault.
Ok, so I've spoken to Steeda and BMR now at this point. Steeda is offering a deal on their active dampers that gets them to a price point that they are competitive with the Ford Racing dampers. Thoughts on which ones should be used on Steeda vs. Ford Racing with my SP080's?
Also, I have decided against the Camber plates as I don't think I'll need them for my application but am open to suggestion.
Current Plan:
BMR SP080's
BMR CB005
Steeda or Ford Racing dampers..?
Camber bolts or Camber plates..?
I would drop camber plates from your list and replace them with the Steeda roll center and bump steer kit. A 1.2” drop is similar to mine and I greatly benefitted from installing these. It’s night and day. Of course, if you can do both then go for it.Ok. You a-holes have me looking into ALL kinds of crap when all I wanted to do was lower my new car.
