1LE guys with BMR springs, your opinions needed. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For those of you with 1LEs on BMR springs, how do you like them. Especially compared to the stock springs. Not looking for opinions based on comfort but mostly handling characteristics.

What say you?

ZYBORG · 02-01-2016, 09:27 AM

Also, feel free to share some photos and state what size BMR springs.

No 1LE guys with BMR springs?

BMR Sales · 02-01-2016, 04:01 PM

I know they are out there!

Scotty D2014 · 02-01-2016, 04:27 PM

I am very interested myself . I have a 2014 1LE and I am on the fence ! On 1" or 1.2" drop?? It's my daily driver and I do not want to give up it's handling characteristics ..

1LESSCamaro · 02-01-2016, 06:36 PM

I have a set of the 1.25". Hopefully I'll be able to install them soon and give some feedback.

ZYBORG · 02-03-2016, 02:23 PM

Come on, someone has to have some on their 1LE...

Stock Boy · 02-03-2016, 04:14 PM

Hey I have them on, the 1" drop. It looks great, not slammed but the gap is greatly reduced. It looks just right in my opinion. Body roll is reduced a bit both in turning and braking. I got these to run with sticky tires at the track but unfortunately it rained when I went so I can't give a great opinion on that. I think if you get them, to get the most out of them, stickier tires should be used because of their firmness. I'm at work so I'm unable to post any pics up.

Lowered with 1" BRM springs. I like it, handle well when I took out on a small very tight cornering track

Thanks for the replies guys.

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 took it over a 100 at the event many times. No issue with stability at all although that's mainly going to come down to your alignment settings. I would get an alignment after installing them.

But if you had to compare that to the stock springs, would you say stability / confidence was better than stock, about the same or better?

Stock Boy · 02-03-2016, 06:26 PM

The same. Was confident with stability with stock springs and I am with these as well.

Silver/1lE13 · 02-06-2016, 09:40 AM

I have the 1" BMRs in front and back. Better handling and more aggressive stance.
Top speed 120 with no issues.
