Finally Lowered! BMR/Bilstein
First off i want to say this combo is great. My car is a daily driver and this past week i got to test this out. The biggest difference i notice is you obviously feel some more bumps no big deal and the potholes and stuff definitely hit harder. All to be expected when lowering a car. Overall the ride is amazing, i have zero complaints.
Now for handling. Its night and say compared to stock. I got into turns harder than i used to and i find myself going in harder and harder and it still sticks. Backroads are much more fun.
For looks, simply perfect. The drop made a huge difference. Right now on the hose mod in the rear which is why the rear sits a touch lower. I also added the CME so the helps with my opinions lol.
Overall im super happy with this setup. The car doesn't sit low enough where i scrap and bottom out but it still looks and drives fantastic. I would highly recommend this setup to anyone.
My full Suspension Setup:
-BMR springs
-Bilstein Shocks
-2pt bolt in SFC
-Adj Panhard
-non-Adj LCA's
-Relocation Brackets lowest hole
-Front and rear Sway bars
Before Springs:
After Springs!!!

The car looks amazing and I am sure it has to handle way better than it did with the junky factory stuff. As far as affordability and performance goes it is really hard to beat the Bilstein/BMR combo. Thanks for posting the feedback and the pictures.

Dude looks so sick. I'm currently running the eibach pro kit springs and the bislten shocks and I'm not liking the ride. And I'm thinking swaping to the bmr springs I been told the bmr are not has low has the eibach but your car looks perfect

Our springs generally don't sit as low as the Eibach springs do but it does vary depending on the situation. The amount of sag you will see from the Eibach springs will vary depending on the age and mileage on them.

I have the same set up...eibach and bilsten...better than stock but the ride not as good as i thought... seems like it hits bump stops when kiddos are in the car when there is a small bump..like the low stance though...thought about bmr also after looking at the pics

Looks great. I have the same combo and love it! I have the UMI 3pt weld in SFCs ready to go, and plan on LCA relocation brackets and LCA's next. What suspension parts did you notice the most other than the BMR/Bilsteins?

I noticed little to no difference after my BMR/Bilstein swap... Only at 100+mph did I notice more stability moving through lanes on the highway. Regular driving, and messing around with some slightly hard cornering I felt hardly any difference over stock. Wasn't really impressed as far as handling goes.
The ride did get a bit bumpier but not bad at all, and the ride height is perfect. I love how the car sits.

Did you have an alignment done after the install? The alignment is also a big part of improving the performance.

Our BMR lowering springs are considerably stiffer than the factory springs so you should notice large improvement in performance from that increased spring rate and also the lowered center of gravity. The Bilsteins are valved a bit more aggressive than the factory Decarbon shocks too.
