Question for those with BMR Springs

I installed a set of BMR springs about 3 weeks ago along with new bilstein HDs. It seems like the rear end sits slightly lower then the front. Has anyone else with BMR springs noticed this? I have new shock insulators around here somewhere that i ordered for an old car and never used, i'll put them in once i find them but i doubt that is the problem.

Re: Question for those with BMR Springs

FWIW, I have Bilsteins and STOCK springs, and my car also seems to ride lower in the back then in the front. So, it might not be because of the BMR springs. Did you notice this before you installed your new parts?

I also have BMR springs and my car also appears to be the same way, never really bothered me too much though.

Re: Question for those with BMR Springs

I'm stock also, mine rides lower in the back than in the front partiallly because of my box... Speakers do make it sag a little.

How do you like the ride on the BMR springs?? I heard it rides like a 1920 model A Ford.
I like BMR products and would like to stay w/ them.

Re: Question for those with BMR Springs

My whole suspension is BMR with the exception of my STB, spohn was slightly cheaper and they're identical. Anyway, the ride is great for a lowered car. Just slightly harsher then stock but definately nothing that's gonna knock a filling loose going over bumps. I never heard a complaint from a passenger about it being rough. I used to have a lowered thirdgen with intrax springs and KYB shocks, now that was rough. The BMR / Bilstein combo is nothing like that.

Re: Question for those with BMR Springs

I guess I got lucky because the BMR springs gave my Z a slight rake, the rear end sits just a tad higher than the front.

When it's time for new shocks I'll be going with Koni's in the front using the lower spring perch so it will drop the front a little more and give me a really nice rake

1920 Ford would be the model T. The model A didn't come out until 1928.
