We still need to hear back from 1 or 2 distributors before I can defintely say this.

Feel free to place your order for the new springs now. BMR does not bill your credit card until the springs ship. Also, there is no cancellation charge if you cancel your order before the product ships.
Judging from their last post in this thread on the subject, they have switched over.

I would not think so the springs are rated at a 1.25" drop....

Really? I thought the slp eibachs were a .75 drop. From the pics I see of bmr's they look alot lower than this. See the fronts I need about an inch more gone lol, back is fine the way it sits.

Yes the BMR springs will sit slightly lower than the ones currently on you car by about 1/2" Here are a few BMR customer cars running our springs-

Look at the specs they listed again. In that thread they listed the drop as 1.25". They use to list it as 1". The rear spring rates are indeed the same as the 1" rates though. So maybe they decided to keep the old rates with the new drop. Still not clear I guess.

You are correct the drop will be 1.25" now instead of the 1"

We are completely sold out of the old design and are awaiting the new shipment as we speak. All springs will be the revised design.

So are you changing the spring rates as was stated earlier or are you keeping the same rates. If you are still going to change the rates are they going to continue to be progressive of linear. Those interested in the new design would probably appreciate all the info. Just a bit confusing with the new drop and old rates being listed in the other thread.

Your rear looks pretty low there, did you remove the isolator from the top of the spring? If you use the isolator with the BMR spring it will probably be about as low as it is now. The front would probably drop a bit judging from all the BMR equipped cars I've seen.

The spring rates are 550lb front 170lb rear. They are a linear rate spring not progressive.

Nope isolator is still in there. That's just the bilstein/slp eibach combo that came on it. I like how the back sits I just need the front down another inch lol.
