Lowering springs? Pfadt or BMR?

Are they comparable? Is one better than the other?

Both are great products and can't go wrong either way. One is lower than the other and that depends on how low you want to go lol.


Both are great.

Both are great. I have a friend with the Pfadt. I am going with 1.4" BMR springs all the way around. Either way car will look awesome.

Fine.



OP, are you trying to keep a great ride or go as low as you can with springs?

I submit you couldn't tell the diff either way as far as ride if that's all you change.

Also note that the lower you go, the more harsh the ride gets. That's the trade-off for slamming your car. Pfadts are designed to give you a great ride height yet retain a comfortable ride. That's not to say that Pfadts ride as soft as OEM but I always though the OEM ride was WAY to soft.

I think my Pfadt springs ride better than stock. Maybe it's just me but honestly they feel better except on the hard hits but normal driving it's better.

Thanks.

You, too, can have some cheap shitty wheels for a price of around 5500.00 with Savini.

love my 1 inch bmr springs. With the gfx it still gives me enough clearance to get in out of driveways and speed bumps.

Ride is great to. Firm with out being to bouncy. and I didn't have to cut my bump stops

You are not going to go wrong either since we both build a quality product. It honestly just comes down to personal preference.
