Nah, not yet. It's waiting behind amp and subwoofer install, clearbra install and tail light dechroming.

well, bmr just returned my $. they are working on a redesign for the springs and said it would be 4-5 weeks before they would have the new design ready for sale. TC said he would shoot me a email or call when they are ready. I purchased a set from Phastek that fit better than the bmr ones but they are 1.4 front with 1.3 rear and I wanted the 1" rear bmr offered so not really liking the stance it has now. I do like the rear where it sits but the whole car sits level with maybe a slight lower in front but hard to tell. I want a bigger split from front to rear. More like having the fender wells level instead of the car level. Stock stance, only lower. If that makes sense. haha

What was wrong with the bmr's? Wanna sell the phasteks once the bmr's become available?

The BMRs weren't seating right on the strut. I think this was only a problem with the 1.25" springs

Yea they weren't seating themselves correctly on the tophat. If u want, do a "advanced search" for my screen name and u can see the couple of threads I posted and all. It is VERY possible that I do sell the Phastek ones, once the BMR ones are available. Simply because the BMR has the split difference n height. 1.4 front and 1" rear. Phasteks are 1.4 front and 1.3" rear...

There was another fella who had the same issue with the 1.25 spring set but mine were the 1.4 front and 1" rear. I never made it to install the rears cuz the front didnt seat correctly.

I was just sold the 1.4/1 split drop for my 15 on Monday through bmr. They didn't mention any fitment issues?

I wonder if they already made the adjustment...........TC Davis is the guy at BMR that I had the most contact with. He had said he would let me know once they get some new ones in. Ill have to shoot him a call/email and see whats up. Let me know how your install goes please.

straka · 07-19-2015, 10:24 AM

I'm going to install them tomorrow. I'll report back

Installed mine on my own. Used 1 floor jack and 2 jack stands. Did one side at a time. Outside of some of the bolts being a pain to line up after putting it back together. Was super easy.

Make sure to setup an alignment right after
