Help me plan my suspension!

[BMR Tech]

I have a PP car and have the BMR springs. I want Bilstein shocks front and rear when they become available. Honestly I don't think it needs anything else if you're not racing from a dead stop. I have 550rwhp and always push it from a roll and have never had a hint of wheel hop. Maybe it is the 315 Michelins.

Yeah, often times people splurge when they don't really "need" to. OP has stated that he wants the full deal, though. I have been PMing with him.

As for those 315's - hahaha, thats likely a good reason.

As for those Bilsteins, I agree. I cannot wait until they are available.

On that note, I think you should test our Handling Springs and the FRPP Track Damper Kit. I will give you a smoking deal on those springs, if you wanna try that combo out.:cheers:

Blowfish Racing Shifter Bracket

Go with the springs, save your money on the shifter. The Blowfish Racing Shifter Bracket is the way to go. Best $250.00 mod on the planet. This bracket does not mount to the body, that is the key.

You can always replace the shifter later but with the bracket you may not feel the need to do so.

Thanks Havasu...i'll add that to the list, thanks

I just ordered BMR SP083 Handling springs with Ford racing handling struts and shocks. Should be bad ass combo with BMR spring rate. 300F/980R

Wouldn't it be great if we could, if someone could figure out or find out what the spring rates are on the Ford Racing Handling Pack suspension kits?

Finding that information would certainly make our choices much easier, we might not have to mix and match parts from other manufactures. IMO...more manufactures should be offering complete packages....meaning, Sways, struts, dampers, bushings etc. all inclusive.

ford racing did not want to release the rating to me. Plus the rear spring is defiantly progressive and I like linear rate. so BMR it is.

Welp...

Personally, I am not a fan of "generic" packages.

Then again, we cater more towards a smaller market that is looking for specific characteristics - not just generic performance.

This is why you will see our parts cater to more people.

(3) kinds of vertical Links
Many different Cradle/Diff solutions
(3) Different sets of springs for various purposes and even a front only specific spring for stock rear spring users.

Etc.

That said, I have thought about putting together a package that I design based on my thoughts of the car....but, everyone is different.

Looking forward to your results.

Got my FRPP strut/shock kit from LMR. The nice part is that they come with FRPP bump stops so no need to spend another $70 for bump stops.

Just waiting for the springs. Was told I was going to receive it by end of Friday but they are coming in on Monday. So the install will be after thanks giving.

Here's what I'd like to see...

Put together the "this is what Ford should have done with the Performance Package" package. All up. After market dampers. All the settings. Docile at-the-limit handling. The perfect balance of back road silliness and daily driver acceptable. (Lets err on the side of Camaro 1LE except with a good looking car inside and out).

You could do the same for "best road course track time" and "best 1/4 track time".

My $.02

The problem is ROI.

We have done stuff like that in the past, but it just never really works for us.

I think it is because "racers" are so commonly using our components....so we sell much more individual items, instead of packages.

There is also that "tech" part of it. Packages typically create tech nightmare to be honest. I can only handle so much. haha :doh:

Well, I feel the same way about buying individual parts Kelly. I want to get as close to 1LE handling as possible and claim no special expertise in suspension engineering. Need hand holding. We'll talk when the Koni/Bilstein stuff is available.

That is why I am here. :cheers:
The Koni and/or Bilsteins and our SP083 Handling Springs are going to be about the best set-up you can get, especially for the price.

We have a very close relationship with Koni, and our spring rates for those Koni's will be a match made in heaven - that is a promise!
