Default New Bmr Set up :)

BMRUpper/lower a-arm, adj panhard, adj lca, front/rear swaybar, lowering springs, blistienshocks



This is how it sat with 18s, now it has the stock 17s and sits even nicer!


ill get better pics when i clean it, but took it for the first actual ride today and i must say the handling is amazing. i take turns like no other and the car is actually planted on the ground. A++ BMR, now if only the alignment shop will get the thing 100% right ill be good to go. its a little stiffer than im used to and you feel every bump/crack but i like it. i can actually feel the road

edit: the stance sits really nice, 2fingers front and rear between the tire and the wheel well, and about 2" clearance of my longtubes/y and the ground. so its pretty low but i love it
edit: more pics

We appreciate you using BMR Suspension parts and are glad the you are happy with our products. It is kind of hard to see the stance on the rear of the car due to the shadows so it would be awesome if you could post up some more pictures when you get a chance.

If there is anything else we can do for you let us know.

Looks great. Did you do the heater hose mod in the back? I did with mine and it sits perfect. I need to post some pics of my bmr springs for them.

I used 5/8 inch hose though, worked like a charm.

Oh thanks, but I wonder if the thread poster had lowered springs already? im wondering if this mod will make it TOO low with lower springs.

I have a rake on mine but my front tires seem to tuck into my front fenders. Wondering if there are spacers to lift the front about 1/4 to 1/2"?? BMR chime in please

Heres a side shot. Leave as is or consider spacer?

Here's the spacer they make...

I don't like the rake, that's why I did the hose mod. Sits level from front to back.

The 4th gens have a natural rake from the factory so when you lower them with our springs they have that same rake.

If you are happy with stance in the rear and are worried about ground clearance than I would run our shock spacers (SA002) in the front which will lift the car real close to 1/2". If you would prefer to have the stance of the front you can just do the heater hose mod on the rear springs which should level it out.

The stance of the car looks really good. I really like the raked look which is what this combintaion gives you.
