Bmr springs man I love mine! Ride is a little stiffer not bad tho. Also these are one of the best drag springs out there. Give Terry a call at teem beefcake racing he can hook you up with a bad ass deal. Also I see your in nm awesome if you ever want some pics pm me ill give you my number.

I've yet to experience ANY scrapping with my H&R Super Sport springs. "ALL", I repeat "ALL" lowering springs are going to make the car stiffer I don't car what brand you get.

OP, have you browsed the "lowered Mustangs" thread. you'll find lots of comments there as well. I personally have the H&R's without issues and I too have daily driver as a 100% must. I also have 20" wheels too and my car did ride actually better using a lower profile tire than the factory tires.

Good luck.

I have hr super sports with Strange's set to the lowest setting and I like them for my daily driver. I scrape some places but usually my fault.

I had steeda sports at first and they were pretty damn firm even on the softest setting on the koni's but the handling was great. I went to BMR springs and without a doubt they are more comfortable but they do lag behind in the handling department. IMO if your not into road racing the BMR springs are all around better spring especially if you want that weight transfer for drag/street racing.

My part of the woods doesnt have very smooth driveways. I couldnt even cruise the movie parking lot because I would hang the speed bumps.

This , I have steeda sports but I just live with the firmness cause I love the way they handle and car don't feel floaty when at high speeds

I have the H&R race springs and the ride is alot stiffer then I want for a daily driver but I'm unsure if good set struts and shocks will help.

burke985 can u post some pic of ur car. I have a similar set steeda pro-actions shocks n steeda sport springs with 20inch roush rims. the car looks good n don't mind the firmness at all. Im thinking about lowering the car a little more like .5 more to make it look more aggressive leaning towards BMR but idk if I want to take everything apart again.

Do the BMR's handle same, better or worse than the base non brembo 5.0?

How much of a drop are you guys getting with BMR springs?

It says on the BMR website that the front (part # SP011) are a 1 inch drop and the rear (Part# SP012) are a 1.5 inch drop.

On a side note, what all is needed specifically for someone on a budget that just wants to lower their 5.0. Anything more than springs, panhard bar, camber adjustment bolts, and alignment needed? There seems to be conflicting info on this. :shrug:
