Default Guys running new design BMR Lowering Springs and SLP Bilstein Shocks come in.

As the title says Guys running new design BMR Lowering Springs and SLP Bilstein Shocks come in. My car is not a DD but I would still like it to be if it had to be, it's mostly a weekend car if that. An it will proably never see the track but it may but if so maybe once or twice a year if that, now since that's out of the way. I have some questions for you. I've seen some pictures of of the car lowered with the new design BMR springs, one of my questions is the rear sag over time like I've been reading about the eibach's? An what's the ride quality like with this combo? An if you do have this combo and reply could you post how many miles you have on this combo and how it's working for you from the day you put it on until now, please. I know it's going to be firmer than stock but is the ride quality okay, kinda decent, is it going to beat me up or will it be very harsh or to the point where it may be unbearable? I know that's going to alot of different answers on that but I'm just asking cause everyone is different. I'm also going to run a UMI adj. Panhard Bar I think it's item number 2029. Also I know the BMR springs are on backorder right now so do yall think I should go with these or just go with the strano springs which also are on backorder. So if someone swithed from the new style BMR springs to strano springs that will help also. I know some of yall are going to nail me with the use a search statement but honestly I've looked through it all and can't come up with the information I'm really looking for. I've been on the internet at work for a bunch of hours trying to look for more info on this combo. So sorry to bother yall with my questions but thanks for replying if you do. Just try to help a f-body brother please. Thanks for your time.

Thanks brother. I know that there was a guy around here with a black WS6 (might have been dark navy blue) with the new BMR springs and it looked killer. It was lowered with them on the stock wheels. I can't find his link for the life of me.

I have got bmr springs with kyb agx shocks. I am very happy with the setup. I will be upgrading the shocks in the future but they are fine for now. The bmr springs sit fantastic and ride even better. Good ride for a street car and I love those rates when I start cornering hard. Just my .02.

Soo are you all shipping out the springs today or next monday? I'm thinking about placing any order through one of our sponsors and getting some more stuff. In that picture with the customer car does he have the rear isolator's installed in that car or did he take them out or do you all recommend the rear isolator in or out with yall springs?

The springs will be ready to ship out on the Monday the 8th.

His car still has the isolators on the springs which is the way we recommend to run them...

i have the new bmr springs and slp bilstein shocks sitting in my room just waiting to be installed. i just need to find a day to do it when im not busy. i have the rear shocks in because they were easy to do at the same time with my relocation brackets. A

And just with the rear shocks in and not the fronts or the springs in i love how the rear of the car rides already. cant wait to put everything on

I'm going to order my springs and shocks and adj PHB tomorrow through WS6 Store. Thought I would get more feedback or pictures though. I'm going to drop it off at my tuner and his going to put it on so I may have it back by next week. But some are saying that the BMR srings are similar to strano's with the new design. So to anyone who see's this don't start the pissing battle. Both are our sponsors and great sponsors and I've never dealt with either one. That's just what I read.

I will have this exact set up when my shocks arrive from WS6Store. I also have a UMI adj. panhard to go on. I will take before and after pics.

BTW.. WS6Store has an EXCELLENT price on Bilstein shocks. (they are backordered but check the price... its worth waiting) Because of thier excellent customer service..prices.... and super fast shipping I will be checking them first for all of my future mods.

Yea I know what you mean vedders. I need to get some pictures of my car now before my shocks get here and before I take it to get it done. Do you remember when they said those shocks are gonna be in? I know what you mean by the price on the shocks they are the cheapest that I found and they shipped them to me for free. I just hope it's going to be a good if not decent setup. But I have an aftermarket exhaust so I hope I don't run into clearance issues, if I don't that's gonna be gravy as hell. I'm itching to get it on I'm just starting to get impaitent.
