like the title says my WS.6 got the bmr treatment
bmr strut bar
bmr lowering springs
bmr lca
bmr lca relocation brackets
bmr adj. panhard bar

i am very pleased with the results, the new stance is perfect and the car hooks alot better as well and handles alot better on curves too. also the ride feels stock and its not harsh at all.

here are some before and after pics (crappy phone pics)

unfortunately for now yes i am on stock de carbons.... the car only has 42k miles so even though its lowered it still feels stock... but i will be getting some konis later

That stock feel wont last long im sure so keep us informed when the ride begins to turn to crap. I've heard after like 3 or so months the ride really gets harsh so let us know how long your stock feel lasts.

Newbie here--- I would like to do this to my WS6 but I have never done this type of work before. Is this something I can do myself, or should a shop do it? Also, how much do you guys think a shop would charge to install this package? Thanks!

lol.....wow!..i would hate to hear that...is that because of the springs combined with the stock shocks? or the springs alone?


thats why i will be getting some stranos and koni's whenever i get the $1000+ to spend on it. do it right the first time and be done.

I'd honestly give it even less time if hes driving on anything less than smooth roads. Its because like everyone who has been on other shocks to compare says, the stock ones really do suck. Many (myself included)didn't/don't realize how bad they are until they upgrade - and most find that better shocks fix issues they didn't realize were due to shitty shocks in the first place.
The decarbons do a shitty job dampening the stock springs, none the less lower stiffer ones. Thats why these cars are known for a ride harsh, have a floaty/disconnected feeling, have snap over steer and skip over bumps. All shock dampening issues.

so far so good....
reason for not putting the struts and shocks at the same time was because i didnt have the extra 1g for top of the line ones, besides its not even a big deal for me to swap these out later since i am a tech at a dealer i have all my tools there and i have access to the hoist. but will keep posted to see if the ride quality turns to crap.

if you have some type of work experience working on cars and done some type of suspension work before you can do it, but if you are not to comfortable doing it i would just let someone that knows do it. as far as how much a shop would charge you depends how much the shop flat rate hour is.

Looks super clean! I want to run a similar setup on my WS6, but with Stranos instead.

I bet it corners much better now, that's awesome! Once again looks very nice, good work, and enjoy it.

Thanks, car looks great btw. I am planning this same drop and keeping the stock speedline wheels for now, just need to polish them up. Stock look with an aggressive stance is what I am after right now.

The stance looks really good on the car!

thanks!.. definitely does handle better and looks 100x better too.

you are going to love a lowered stance on stock speedlines it looks like the car should of had the stance from the factory.
