BMR SUSPENSION'S S550 Lowering Springs: STANCE PICS!

hi, which spring compressor everyone is using for the fronts? I'm having a hard time installing fronts minimum drop performance springs using normal compressor tool.

I didn’t use a compressor at all. I hit the top strut nut with an electric impact after clearing and lowering the wheel bracket from the bottom.

Bad move? I watched an install and it looked like a good way.

The single worst thing about so many videos is that while I have no doubts that they're well-intended, they just aren't getting knowledgeable reviews (let alone any follow-on corrections) before being made public.

It's especially appealing in this day and age where 'best practices' keeps getting sacrificed to 'least time spent'. And still wrong.

Does I need to install camber bolts with the minimum drop springs?

I have them but whats your experiences?

thank you.

If certainly won't hurt and will allow for perfectly even L/R, but are not necessary to get the car to desired specs. If you have them, I'd use them.

I'd be inclined not to. Overtorquing generally results in fatigue failure if it doesn't completely break during the overtorque cycle. Adding any loosening/retightening cycles now would most likely just add more fatigue.

Our S550 Mustang Spring kits have been a huge hit.

Due to our increases in volume, we have passed our savings on to the consumers. Our SP080 spring set is now $189.95!

Thanks to all of you that have supported BMR in any way!

Not the best but the only pic I have so far of my 18 with BMR min drop springs. They are perfect.

How do you like the ride? Did also change the dampers?

Feels like stock. Maybe a hair more firm but I added the cradle lockout and Steeda IRS alignment kit at the same time. No problems at all and ride is great. Stock dampers I didn’t want to stiffen it way up

Last one for a while. Boom
