BMR spring question
I am upgrading my stock springs to BMR. I want to do the 1.4" drop, but I noticed that they also have the 1.4 front/ 1.0 rear. Does anyone have that set up? I'd love to see what it looks like on a camaro.

Below are a few images of cars with the 1.4/1 inch "split". It is subtle but noticeable.

Here are a few more pictures of the split drop BMR lowering springs (SP025) we have.

Can someone please elaborate on the differences between handling with this 1.4/1 inch set up and an even (say 1.4/1.4 or 1.0/1.0) drop?

You won't be able to tell much difference as far as handling goes between the two different lowering spring kits especially considering that the spring rates are the same between the different ride heights.

With a 1" max drop hows the ride quality ? some say a lot of bounce.
I was thinking of the stage 2 kit and adding rear arms?

The level 2 handling package with the addition of the trailing arms would make a huge difference as far as handling and performance goes on your vehicle. It will give the car a nice aggressive look but will also give you car a much more balanced and responsive feel. This combination of parts will take care of most of the lackluster areas of your Camaro's suspension. Kyle |

Will your lowering springs work on the 2013 SS? I know there is an issue with sway bars but I cant seem to get a clear answer on springs.

You should have absolutely no issue using our BMR lowering springs on your 2013 SS. Our sway bars definitely will not work but we will have a fix for that within in the next month or two.

I have and got my lowering springs from bmr. Went there and the guys are great. Love the look and feel of my car now 1.2 lower. Thanks Kyle and the rest of bmr. Love it. I'm not done either. So ill see you again. The springs give our cars the look they should have left the factory with.
