Default WS6 Vert with new BMR springs


Here is my 2002 that I bought off the forum recently. I installed BMR springs last week. Looks much better! The car already has a lot of mods underneath and only 15k miles.

Great stance. What shock setup are you running?

Definitely a good looking car with a badass stance!

Decided to just use the stock shocks since the only have 15k on them. Rides just fine. The install went smooth since nothing had rust

So that's without using the lower perch? Looks low there. Low, but good.

Looks really good! Love the C5 deep dish wheels on there too. What size are they? Do you have pics with it now on the lower perch/HH mod?

Would you mind sharing your thoughts between the Eibach sportlines with KYB AGX and the SA Konis with BRM springs? Which setup do you like better, and why?

It's really hard to compare the two because my silver car, the one with the konis, has pretty much every suspension upgrade. On the other hand the blue car is completely stock besides the shocks and springs.

In all honesty I love the Koni/BMR set up. You feel like you are on rails when you take corners. I have it set up at the recommended settings for DD and spirited driving use that BMR set me up with. I don't have any complaints about the set up at all.

The KYB AGX set up does ride very nice though. However at this point all the shocks are set fairly soft, how I bought it just havent changed it. It is a completely different feel. Car definitely feels like a boat but then again there is no other aftermarket suspension parts on the car.

Thanks for the good words! I recently set another customer up with the same combo, and his main concern was ride quality on rough roads where he lives, and maintaining a good handling setup. He just called me back today to say how great the car felt and it was nearly perfect even from the baseline suggestions I gave him. Where did you end up with your rear shocks set at? that seems to be the only real variation I get from setup to setup. Luckily they are the easier to adjust also lol.

Sadly, top down weather is coming to an end for the next few months. But that stance still makes it look good

Yea I love how it handles. The roads are fairly rough here for me too but it doesn't bother me at all. Honestly I have not changed them from when you sent them to me. I'm pretty sure my rears are not on car adjustable though

I plan on buying pretty much all of my suspension stuff from you guys again for my blue one. Only a few things that I won't since I have ones specific for my 9"

And yea it's very unfortunate Drove mine today with the top down ha. 45* WI weather makes people look at you funny with the top down.

Top down, heater blasting and bundled up in heavy clothing does seem a little counter-active lol

If the top needs to be up it can stay in the garage. Lots of nice verts here.
