Suspension Mods

[bigoscycles]

I'm looking at changing things on the 15 GT/PP. I'm wanting to do BMR Cradle Lock Out Kit, BMR Performance Lowering Springs, BMR Adjustable Sway Bar Kit Front & Rear, Steeda IRS Sub Frame Bushing Support System, Steeda IRS Differential Bushing Insert System, Steeda IRS Sub Frame Alignment Kit, Full Tilt Boogie IRS Lower Control Arm Spherical Bearing Assembly. Wondering if this kit would be good or do I need to change some things up. Also thought about 25MM spacers. :shrug:

Anything is going to make a big difference. IMO, my favorite things were lowering springs + a wide squared tire setup.

BMR cradle lockout doesnt work with steeda IRS brace if im remembering correctly. But that all sounds like great upgrades

From my experience it's typically a good idea to try and stick with one manufacturer for suspension. That why you know all the components were made to compliment each other.

if you get the BMR cradle lockout the Steeda IRS bushing support system and alignment system are not needed as the BMR CB005 takes care of those

I have three different brands on my suspension, and it handles quite well. You just have to make sure everything works together.

The biggest items I see missing on the original list are Struts & Shocks. The Ridetech coilovers I'm running transformed the car. Even if you do stock location springs, quality struts & shocks will make a dramatic improvement.

That is a pretty solid list of components!

I see a little bit of redundancy, but not too bad - nothing we cannot fix.

As for the planned modifications - what specifically are you looking for? Lessen wheel hop and improve traction and stability? Better Handling? More grip in corners/exit?

I want to improve the cornering some. Mainly wheel hop and take off traction.

Bushings, braces, vertical links, and adjustable shocks will take care of the wheel hop.

Good struts, shocks, and springs will improve the handling.

And of course, tires tires tires.

What Sharad mentioned above, is pretty accurate.

I typically like to start my customers off slow - every person and car is different. In my opinion, I see no reason to throw the whole catalog at the car...so as far as suspension is concerned, I would usually start it off with:

1: CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout
2: BK055 Rear Control Arm Bushing Upgrade
3: TCA045 Vertical Links
4: Shocks / Struts / Springs (Koni's and BMR SP080 are an awesome match!)
5: Tires (best improvement overall)
6: TR005 Toe Links (and knuckle bearings)
6: Sway Bars (fine tune the balance of the car)

In order, that is my preference.

The only reason I rank the CB005 and BK055 ahead of tires is simply because they make such a big improvement overall....not JUST traction and lessening wheel-hop, but simply providing the driver with a higher level of confidence and a more connected feel to the car.

If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to ask!

Happy Modding!

Does the TR005s work well without the BK055 control arm bushings? Eventually I want both but I am probably going to do the control arm bushings later since a press is required. The CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout is definitely my next mod.
