Default Bmr Spring Owners

For those of you that have BMR springs with or with out Bilstien's do you scrape LT's or is there still plenty of room? Also post pics if you have any, I saw the one pic on the sticky but looking for more especially on TA's

i have them....i had Kooks which tuck up underneath very well so i never had issues with scraping. BMR claims a 1" drop but it ends up being more like 1.3" which looks really good in person

You will never be immune to scraping any headers on any ride height. The size of the bump or dips in the ground will determine whether or not you scrape as well as the ride height and how low your headers are. There's lots of factors that come into play.

Depending on the size of the bump or dip in the road, you could possibly scrape on stock ride height. I have strano springs and kooks. I've scraped once or twice over a larger speed bump going over it too fast. I also consistently scrape on this hill that comes to a point at the seekonk speedway where I have to line up. The scraping appears to me minor though and I just keep driving over it. Time will tell if it's a bad idea or not

I have BMR springs with Koni SA shocks. I've never scrapped my headers on a bump or anything. I hit something one time that scrapped the header but it was a huge piece of something. My pics are in the sticky at the top of this section

BMR/Bilstein combo installed after Jet Hot LTs and ORY. My ORY scrapes occasionally on steep driveways, mostly because I didn't tuck it too well. Headers never scrape.

I haven't had the car out to the track since I did the install but I now have a few other upgrades that should make it do just fine. I don't have a problem with traction
