BMR spring question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

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.

This doesn't change the weight distribution or anything like that?

(sorry if thats a noob question, but when it comes to suspension, I guess I'm a noob)

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?

It will change the weight distribution a little but it won't be enough for you to really notice at all.

With any lower spring the ride will be a little bit stiffer and could potentially be a little bouncier in nature but these are characteristics that are in any brand lowering springs. I have had many customers tell us our lowering springs ride just like the factory springs and I have had some tell me they are a little stiffer riding, each person perception is a little different. I think our lowering springs have a good ride that is a touch stiffer then the stock springs.

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.

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.
