BMR Lowering Spring Poll

Initially our intentions were to only offer a 1.25" drop spring but feedback was all over the place. Some wanted 1", some 1.25", and some like the 1.4" drop. We have tested many springs from a technical standpoint. Now we need to test this from a marketing standpoint. So tell us...which drop do you prefer? Your opinion counts!!!

I might be interested in your prototype 1" drop springs if they are still available.

Allan,

I think you should make a 1" drop just like these!

They were in my office when I got back today. I can't wait for my other sway bar to get here so I can have everything installed.

The 1.25" looks great ......As long as the bump stops don't need to be cut

Come on guys, we need more feedback than this. We are without a doubt going to offer the 1" springs, in fact they are in production now. It is sounding like 1.25" for the other drop amount so far....

I'd like to see pics of both, as I'm worried about the 1.25" on the bumpy roads in Dallas. I've already got the BMR trailing arms, toe links and tunnel brace; now I'm just waiting to get springs and sway bars from you guys!! PM with a price if this stuff is available. Thanks!

I didn't make it in time to vote but I was waiting for your 1.25" drop. I don't care for the 1.0" drop and I worried about dropping it 1.4".

I have a question. I'm thinking of the 1" drop springs but has anyone come out with urethane spring pads to replace the factory rubber ones ?? Ed M.

1.00" is perfect... 1.25 is a bit much on the back...

You may want to consider an option of selling your springs in pairs. Everyone has different thoughts on what looks good, lower front or rear or level. It would even let someone buy just a pair after they have bought a set and wasn't completely happy with its stance. Would even be better with all 3 choices.......just a thought....
and I know Pedders does have 2 rear springs
