Just ordered eibach springs and anti roll bars. After reading the above post, I am hoping the small drop will look better while still being drive-able everyday. The sway bars are only 1mm larger that stock. not expecting a big difference there. I drive the ZL1 everyday, I hope the slightly better ride is noticable. we shall see in a week.

I have one concern, the above posted alignment specs, are they for performance only? Will they cause accelerated tire wear? if so, am I better off with stock alignment settings.

IMO these tires wear so quick alignment factor isn't as much a factor as normal. gonna need tires anyway

Anyone know how to get the spring off the mag ride strut? Wires seem to not unplug easily. Anyone have an idea?

.seems I need a pin removal tool to disconnect the MR plugs. figures I started on the rear so im stuck until I get the tool. Not going to cut the wires like ive seen done.

Have you tried tech at bmr

Jer4251 · 04-30-2013, 09:53 PM

I made my own tool. Got it finished tonight. Will post pics tomorrow in the daylight. Looks much better. Glad I did the split springs.

the ride is great. I drive around in sport mode all the time and it can get a little bumpy being a firm ride, but switch to tour mode and shes smooth. feels a lot better under accel. stock springs would make the nose of the car rise and dip when on the gas and brake, now its stiff and less up and down movement when hitting the gas.

Overall very pleased with the BMR SP025's i'll take a few measurements to see what I actually dropped it.

Looks like I dropped an even 1" over stock front and back. The tip of my splitter is at 5" to the ground.
