Lowering springs
Was just about to order BMR 1.25 lowering springs, but have a concern. I've heard of people having problems reconnecting the lower control back up to the strut. Any advice is welcome

Just takes some muscle and a little bit of thinking about it. If you have mechanical aptitude, you shouldn't have a problem.
Also be sure you have the entire rear of the car in the air and don't try to do one side at a time. I think most of the time the sway bar is what's preventing people from getting things back into place. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

Just did the 1.25" BMR on my '13 SS. Love the stance! Absolutely the perfect drop. Alignment and bushings are coming this weekend.
I didn't have any issues with install other than 1 spring that I screwed up. Just took me an extra 20 min to fix once all was done.
