BMR lowering kit and handling

acuboost · June 13th, 2008, 01:35 PM

I have heard a lot of good things about the esthetics's with the BMR lowering kit, and since it includes everything it seems like an easy decision but then the question of road handling enter my mind. Going for looks but also taking a corner here and there, may the the track once and awhile, should I be looking at something else? I know suspension can be expensive but I am hoping to stay in the same price range as the BMR kit.

I got this kit and I think it handles great on the road. But I also got Tokico Hps at the same time. I would also recommend getting sway bars, that is next for me and I think it will help out the fast tight turning. The only thing is that I didnt even need the Camber adjustment bolts. Check out Lethalperformacne.com for pricing thats where i bought mine and that was the best price I could find.

I got my Tokico Hps off of Ebay for $285 shipped (that includes 2 struts & 2 shocks). They are still on there selling them.

Whats the difference between Tokico Hps and D-Specs?

D-specs are adjustable. HPs are not

I have the BMW lowering kit and have been very happy with it. I also put in Steeda upper and lower control arms but did not change the shocks/struts - looks and handles great.

Jucostud · June 13th, 2008, 04:57 PM

i have the 07stanggt lowering kit

by far the best i could find

The price between d-specs and hps are almost $315. I figured it wouldnt be worth that extra cash jsut to be able to adjust it. I didnt think I would spend the time to really get it tuned in for my driving. I would rather just have a set rate and learn how to drive around it. I would never be happy if it was adjustable because I would always try to make it better.

I didnt know BMW made lowering kit for our kits? Wow they are trying to get into every market I guess.

Thats a good chunk of change just for being adjustable!

Oops! You know what I meant. Thanks for the catch. I tried to go back and edit it, but the "EDIT" button isn't there. Does that option disappear after a post has been out there for a while?
