Suspension Ordered....

[timpryor]

So I got all of my suspension ordered and paid for along with the labor. Came out to a little under 2500 all said and done installed and walk out.

Parts

BMR Lower Control Arms, Boxed, DOM, Non-adjustable, Polyurethane Bushings TCA019
BMR Adjustable Upper Control Arm UTCA032
BMR Upper Control Arm Mount UCM002
BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar PHR006
BMR Springs
BMR Camber Bolts
Ford Racing GT500 strut mounts
Tokico D-Spec Shocks/Struts

Labor was fairly expensive(not too bad), but I trust the shop implicitly and know the work will be done and done right.

I know I could have ordered the parts from online and saved a little money but it's nice that my shop is a BMR dealer so that if anything goes wrong I can go back to the shop and they can get things worked out with BMR easily.

Now I'm just waiting for parts to come in.

Will be sure to post pics once everything gets on the car

I hope so, as that was my car budget for just about the whole year. I MAY get a set of LT's and a tune later this year along with going halves on a set of slicks with a buddy since neither of us go to the track THAT much but we want to hook when we do.

I had D-specs on an old car and was VERY happy with them, I really like the adjustability especially since the car is more of a weekend/fun car than a DD

you'll love it. congrats!

I'm sure you'll be happy with the setup but $2,500 is a lot of money!

I'm a cheap ass though

I went with the Strano package and have been very happy, 10k miles on it since install, about $800 total.

Holy labor pricing. How many hours are they charging for that job? You may of also wanted to wait till March 1st as BMR is having a first come first serve sale. Their springs are 50% off and shocks and struts are on sale as well.

As long as you trust them and feel comfortable, all is good. I just can't see charging 9 hours for that job as i wouldn't myself.

Nice setup! Can't wait to see the pics and hear the final results!

Good choice on components, but 2500? Dude you must love giving money away! I'll take a 100 lol.

 

[Deranged2013]

Nice! Can't wait to hear a review.

If you have a jack, some stands and a basic craftsman tool kit including a torque wrench, you could have done this job yourself and learned a lot about wrenching on cars. the only specialty tool you would need is a set of spring compressors, but that is $20 from autozone.

Nice! Review?

 

[GrayGhost Dog]

Sitting nice, good buddy!

Nice! Review?

Can't give an accurate review as roads have been wet so I can't really tell if they have elimated wheel hop. Car rides really well on middle setting, will have to toy with that a little. Slight increase in the cars NVH level but I am actually looking for it too.

Im thinking about pulling the trigger on some BMR springs. Was the drop as advertised? Looking to fill the wheel well gap but nothing too extreme; some of the local roads aren't lowered friendly.

It's times like this I am thankful for my $15 a labor hour rate.

Mine lowered more 1.5 in front and 1.75 in back and both are just fine and San Antonio has some of the worse roads ever. But a little of the drop may have also been the switch of the shocks/struts/strut mounts. The GT500 strut mounts were noticably shorter than the stockers.
