Have any of you two, taken the 1LE to triple digit speeds (100mph+)? If so, putting ride quality / comfort aside, how does the BMR spring drop compare in stabilty / handling confidence vs the stock set up?

Also, please feel free to post more pics.

I have gone to certain tracks in Mexico and hit around 150 mph and I can tell you the 1LE is stable with the BMR springs.

Ended up installing bmr 1.25in springs over the weekend.

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by timed?

Got mine lowered 1" on BMR springs. It handles well but it also created a lot more bumpy ride.

805camaro · 03-09-2016, 12:19 AM

Mine is lowered on 1'' bmr springs. handles great and looks amazing. The ride is defiantly a performance car ride around town, ie: hitting bumps in the road and small pot holes. I also notice whenever my front wheels go over road reflectors there is some noise up front. I was worried so i took everything back apart and made sure all was tight. I still have the noise but its not a big enough deal for me to put back the stock springs. The look is worth it. Its probably just the nature of the beast and Im being picky

all in all, I would recommend them. The cost is low, they are a nice subtle mod

Ok thank you. I had only heard it referred to as reclocking. This make more sense now.

I just bought 1” BMRs and installing them myself in the next couple weeks. Stock bushings good or is it recommended to upgrade those? Thx in advance!

Necessary really depends on what you'll be doing with the car, and what you want out of it. According to the suspension experts on here, the bushings on the 2013-2015 1LE's are the best of the OEM bunch, but there are certainly better options out there in non-OEM world. I've changed a good bit of my suspension, weighing heavily on Justice Pete's expertise, but haven't gotten around to the cradle bushings yet (or any bushings other than the front radius arms). Will likely go solid for my purposes.

Bottom line, IMHO, you don't need to if you're not pushing the car to the handling edge, and will likely not notice much difference unless you are.
