Spring sugestions needed!

[West TX GT]

From everything I read they sound like the best option for me as far as performance and ride. I'm just wishing the drop was a little more in the back but like I said the rake look is growing on me.

Once you put them on I think you will like it. The front wheel opening is bigger than the rear opening so it needs to be raked or it looks like you have a bunch of weight in the trunk and are dragging the ass end.

The more I look at bmr pics the more I like them. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with either there performance or drag setup.

Yup, drag spring is stiffer rear but softer front compared to the performance springs which is best DD spring. Here's all 3 rates front/rear. Performance 170/740, Handling 300/980 and Drag 150/800. The shop doing the install is suggesting going with the drag set. I'm thinking the performance set would be best for my kind of driving. Can anyone chime in on how well the drag setup does on street with some spirited driving?

This car definitely needs more front spring to make it more responsive and keep roll in check. The drag springs are perfectly fine for DD use but for any spirited driving I would want the stiffer front spring. I would go performance springs, or min drop front. The 089/082 combo looks the best to my eyes in terms of wheel gap at front and rear, but you can't go wrong with the SP080 full set either.

The one and only, BMR SP080

;)

Remove stock springs.

Trim bumpstops per instructions.

Install BMR SP080.

Verify alignment is okay, adjust toe accordingly and bring the camber out a touch out back.

Enjoy the best all-around Performance Springs for the S550 Chassis.

I haven't tried the SP080, but I've tried enough spring combinations to tell the BMR Performance spring rates are spot on.

+1 vote for the BMR SP080.

Pair with some good shocks if you can afford.

I like the Ford Track Pack ... but I think is important to get shocks to match your springs which you can do with any of the good brands. Was just watching some videos on it.

 

[tj@steeda]

Steeda has a great combination of shocks & springs that we sell in an array of packages, we specifically test our springs with our shock & strut packages to ensure you get the best in drivability:

Comfort Package

Handling Package

Track Package

Let me know if I can help assist with a package deal - Steeda offers a complete line of suspension components, you won't be disappointed.

Best regards,

TJ

Thanks for all the info guys! I ended up going with bmr SP080 springs, ford racing axles and a comination of steeda/bmr parts to keep that IRS from wheel hopping! I would of liked to do shocks, struts and drive shaft but I had to stop the bleeding somewhere. I could always do them later and I'd actually would feel comfortable installing them myself. My appointment isn't until mid August so I won't be able to report back for a while. Thanks again for spending my money!:cheers:
