BMR Lowering Springs - How It's Made

[caverman]

Nice!

I knew you would be competitively priced.

Do you have a timeline on when your springs might be available? What about swaybars...any idea when they will be available?

We started selling them at Camaro 5 Fest. Rear sway bars are ready to ship now. Front sway bars will start to ship in 2 weeks or less. $359.95 for the pair.

As soon as you get a chance you need to have pics and info of your springs and sway bars posted on your web site.

I'm still probably a couple mths from doing sway bars but I'll be researching which ones during that time.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but are your swaybars and springs going to be available in black hammertone like most of your parts? I looked on your website but couldn't find the info.

Are you Sway bars solid or hollow bars?

Swaybars will be available in red and black hammertone finishes, the springs will be available in red only.

Both front and rear swaybars are hollow. I understand their is controversy over "solid vs. hollow" swaybars. Both sides present good arguments but here is our take on it: Progress exists through advancements in technology. You won't find any OE using solid swaybars anymore unless the bar diameter is less than 1". It is not because it is cheaper (DOM tubing is more expensive than solid), it's simply more efficient and less weight.

We have put a lot of development time into what we think are the ideal rates for this platform. Since the Fifth gen has pre-existing understeer, we designed our bars with more rear rate bias to neutralize the understeer and balance the car. Our variable rates make it possible to use only the rear bar to correct the understeer or both bars to increase overall roll resistance. To accommodate as many variables as possible we make both bars adjustable so you have 9 possible combinations to choose from.

Our front bar is 1-1/8" diameter with adjustable rates:
50%, 110%, 214% stiffer than OE.

Our rear bar is 1" diameter with adjustable rates:
99%, 173%, 301% stiffer than OE.

Wow thats not bad at all, when can I order the springs I didn't see them on the web site?

I have BMR "stuff" and I love it. Only reason I didnt go with BMR springs is I only wanted 1" of drop and Eibach ProKit was exactly that. I feel 1.25 was a bit much for my liking. I live down a gravel lane and dealt with dragging the gravel in my Corvette for too long to lower the Camaro that much!

I too fell $360 is a rip for springs. The Pfadt kit can be nad for $300ish all day. I fot my Eibachs shipped, to my door for $205 but I got 2 kits so there was a "deal".

I just wanted to point out some changes we have made to our springs. After polling the forums and experimenting with different drop amounts we have decided to offer two different drop amounts. Our rates will be the same between the two part numbers but instead of 1.25" drop we are now going to do a 1" drop part number and a 1.4" drop part number. The 1" springs are being manufactured as we speak and should be available in 2 weeks, maybe 3 weeks tops. For those wanting the 1.4" drop, we are still testing with this part number and they will be available later this summer.
Springs can be purchased direct through BMR or any BMR distributor (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/distributors.htm).

So no more 1.25" drop???

I was wanting a set of 1.25 drop. Any of those left? Please let me know. Thanks

[Mustang Killa]

the 1.25" was what made me interested in them as well...
