Default Spohn Rod/Rod LCAs w/ BMR Bolt on Relo Brackets Installed





Rottluver and I installed these bad boys along with the BMR Bolt on relo brackets...one word. AMAZING! Rear end feels totally solid and NO wheel hop! Didn't notice any harshness on our test drive this evening. The whole care just felt more solid. Only way to describe it. Installation was pretty easy and straight forward. I also pulled the rubber isolator out of the top of the spring to bring the back end down a little. Very happy with everything!

On the drive to work this morning, I noticed the ride was a bit rougher, but nothing to complain about for a sports car. No added road noise and certainly not a harsh ride. I actually like the solid feeling better than the 1LE LCAs that came on my hawk. Let me know if you have any questions!

Install was pretty straight forward. Had to cut 1 side of the brake line holder bracket to allow the BMR bracket to fit over the LCA tab on the axle as per the BMR instructions. Everything bolted right up...no problems. And the car handles amazingly now! Can't wait to open her up on the twisties!

Well the thunking over almost ANY significant crack in the road was finally getting to me so tonight, with Rottluver's gracious help, we put the isolators back on top of the springs to try and fix the noise. That seemed to clear it up for the most part. The noise is still there just MUCH quieter and it doesn't sound like the rear end is going to fall off anymore! Now I can definately recommend these for any daily driver. Plus the way the rear end just bites in now is AMAZING!
