I got to test my BMR springs out today at an autocross in Nashville. It felt great. Now I just need to get better.
 Thanks Chase (AKA Apex Motorsports)!

ok................
Any of you guys have a problem when installing the BMR spring? I went to install mine last night and I cant get the spring to center itself on the top hat. The little washer that holds the bump stop is resting on one coil in the spring. Couple of people said it may need the weight of the tire and vehicle for it to align itself so I went ahead and installed both front springs.......Drove it to work today(10miles) and then going straight back home to get under her to see if the spring did settle or not. Anyone else have this problem? |

Hmmm.
The coil doesn't need to fully seat to the upper insulator / seat, but it should sit in the seat. When the car is lifted and the wheel at full droop, is the coil loose in the assembly or tight? |

I do believe it is installed right side up. The lower coil is a bigger diameter than the top one. I took them off again and here's a couple of pix to explain a little more about the dilemma lol

The BMR coil doesn't seat itself on that yellow part, like the oem one does. It's touching the washer that is on the strut. I have tried to seat it myself while someone else tightens the nut on top, as soon as I let it go, it just pops right back out
