Default One thread for my NEW BMR springs and Powerstop brakes!!!!

I have to say I do love both of these new things on my car. The brakes feel great! Way better than what factory LT1 brakes feel like. The pedal is much firmer and the pad really bites! And best of all they are ceramic and very clean. I replaced the front calipers just so I could paint a new set with decals, nothing was wrong with the old ones. I also put on Brakemotive's Powerstop pad and rotor combo with Russel brake lines and new Valvoline fluid.





As for the BMR springs...they ride so much better than the Prokit I had! Not to say the Prokit was bad but man I just like the BMR's! They raised me up a little which was what I really wanted and the ride quality is just better IMO. Scoggin Dickey really hooked me up with BMR stuff too. And jsut so everyone knows I have these on Strano revalved Bilsteins. I'll take measurements later. I had them written down somewhere I just have to find them.

I never understood why NO manufacturer out there makes a lowering spring that covers up that gap in the rear. Fronts look nice, but that rear I always see mustang springs have a slightly more of a drop out back then the fronts.

I guess we have to ghetto rig it and go for the hose mod. Nice car btw

I like the BMR springs! With my Prokit my fenders sliced the hell out my ET Streets! And like I said these ride like a champ too. Here is a comparison pic, not the best but it is all I could find.

Also I couldn't find my paper that I wrote down the before and after measurements but just for reference with the BMR springs now I ride exactly at 25.5" in the front and 27" in the rear. This is measuring from the ground, across the center cap of the wheel, to the bottom of the fender ( and I do mean the very bottom of the fender lip).

We had a car show in a mall and I know the guy at Foot locker so that was the safest place.
