Any word on when they might come out or relase the drop for those? I thought about going with the steeda boss ones, but they only lower 0.8 in rear and that is still going to look high.
How-To: Lowering Springs on my 2012 Boss

I keep hearing "soon" and I hope we have the details by the end of March. FR is testing them on a Boss so they should be dialed in when they are available. I think the drop will be similar to the Steeda's but I don't know for sure. If you want a bigger drop then you're looking at other modifications needed.
No, but I've driven lowered vehicles for so long that I automatically go sideways if its steep, and the splitter hit curbs before it was lowered.
you said 1.5 rear and .75 front is the advertised drop, but the site says 1.25 front and 1.5 rear. Is this becasue the boss is lower in the front from factory and doesnt drop as much as gt? Did you leave the stock panhard?

Yes; the site ratings are for a GT so I subtracted Ford's advertised drop (1mm front/11mm IIRC?) for the Boss to get what it should be. We did nothing but springs; no C/C plates and no aftermarket panhard.
Looks good!
Just an FYI, these springs that were installed are not actually a true progressive.
They are a dual rate, with a linear working rate. The first softer rate is compressed at ride height, and during driving....the linear rate is the working rate when cornering, racing, etc.

Now that you've had these springs for a while have you been able to dial out the extra jounce you mentioned with damper adjustment? My friend has BMR spings on his 2013 GT with stock dampers. Overall it's pretty comfortable though the ride motions are not as well-controlled as on my Boss.
Poor pic but just installed. Stance is great.
Thanks. Needs a bath and window tint. To f'ing hot today for either.
just some quick advice on the rear install, you don't need to remove the panhard/or bolts when removing or installing the springs, just the shocks at the bottom and brake brackets, I just installed my Ford Racing P springs which lower it the same. Looks great OP.
I love the white..... Awesome.
How do you like them 03Shadow?

car feels good. I set the shocks to 4 at the same time probably shouldn't have but wanted to firm it up a bit. So not really sure on what the springs alone feel like.
I have searched for linear rate springs close to or a little stiffer than the stock Boss springs but with about a 0.5-0.75 drop up front and 1.0-1.25 drop in the rear.
Where can I find a linear rate spring???
BTW the car does look good and BMR told me they were 160lb. linear rate. The rear springs that is, that's all I was looking for....
car is still filthy but the windows are getting tinted Saturday.
before pic (should have turned the car around for the after)

03 shadow did u just install the bmr springs and do an alignment or did u install the panhard bar as well. I just bought this same set of springs for my ride and want to know what all exactly is everyone buying besides the springs ie panhard bar camber bolts relocation bracket ect
