Default Finally..BMR/KYB with pics

Guys finally able to wash up the car and snap a few pics.. my camera isnt a high tech camera..lol. but i tried to get good angled shots. this is the new BMR 1.5 spring and KYB shocks in the rear. struts up front are still stock as the KYB ones were shot.. this is a great setup!! the drive is great, no bouncing or wobbling, or anything. Remember my car is just a fun little car to cruise, doesnt see the track, or anything where i need a $1500 suspension..

Thanks man!! yeah i got the BMR springs brand new in box for a helluva deal. Then the shocks were given to me for free.. came from a buddy who had no plans to lower his car. So i guess i made out pretty well. It is a good setup for a guy who just cruises along and doesnt race or anything. Just keep it simple and easy!!

How do those KYB shocks ride compared to stock? They seem to be a very reasonbly priced upgrade (particularly since you got them free haha).

Car looks great, 18's right?

I've always thought that long exhaust tips looks really out of place on camaros.

ya know, i honestly couldnt really tell a difference honestly.. i actually baby the car and like ive been saying, it never sees the track or anything, or ever driven hard. so i guess anything is better than stock..lol.. sorry i couldnt give you much info. the ride is really good. no wobbles, no bouncy ride or anything.

Nope!! not sure why people are bottoming it out stuff like that. mine is perfect. no problems at all.. 100% satisfied. No i havent taken it over train tracks or anything. Like i said, i baby my car around. I lowered my car for the point of lowering it to give it a clean *** look.. i dont care much for trying to hook a corner at 80mph and all that stuff or trying to handle like its got rails..Just keep it simple!!

It will look even better once the springs settle and it drops down a little bit more!
