Default New suspension

Well after putting bigger rims on, I noticed I was in need of a lowering but didn't want to just go with springs so I went up a step from just springs and ordered this http://www.gnetworks.com/v4/go.gnf?s...&currentPage=0 the handling package lvl1 and some LCA's, the UCA's are comming but I didnt want to push the price over 2k. Anyways I'll have some pic of the car and maybe the install. Should be here next week and in by next monday if all goes as planned. Can't wait!

I agree that steeda is much better. Your cant compare their quality. As they say you get what you pay for.

So steedas billet LCA which are $285 are better than BMRs which are only $230. You prove to me that there is a reason to pay $55 more for the steeda?

Same with steeda rear sway with endlinks ($360) vs BMR ($199).....its somehow worth $160 more......i know F1fan can give me a detailed explanation probably for each of those cases or maybe not.....i cant see paying that much more

And for almost everyone on this forum who is asking about getting suspension upgrades, the BMR is probably overkill even and CHE would easily get the job done for them. I am sure that Steeda makes some products that are better than BMR, but as stated above, are they actually better enough to justify the higher price over the BMR or CHE.

BMRs handling package lvl 1 is just about as much as steedas lvl 3, so I'm not sure what parts you guys are talking about?

The Steeda parts are lighter. They're made for road racing whereas the BMR items are made for drag racing.

If you've got 2k to spend I would go with this. It's what I plan to do with my 2k. Awesome setup.
