BMR or Steeda Sport Lowering Springs? Pics Please!
Trying to decide on Springs, I've narrowed it down to BMR or Steeda Sports. But it's hard to find pics on a car. Especially of the BMRs. Please post pics and discuss any other parts you had to buy to get your suspension geometry correct. Thanks in advance.

I went with the Steeda Sport Springs,
REAR: ADJ. panhard bar to recenter the rear, panhard brace since the adj. panhard bar was hitting the factory one w/ forged diff. cover. LCA's w/ relocate bracket, ADJ. upper to correct pinion angle.
Front: Bump steer kit, BMR A-arms
I'm still in the process of finishing the kit...
Some advice: follow a kit and if money is tight, like most of us buy in series.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey bro glad to see you got the saleens on they look great on your car I had the bmr springs on my 06 before I switched to the H&R coilovers I liked the ride not harsh at all just a tad firmer than stock, I had tokico shocks with the springs and I cut the top of my bump stops and did bmr phb&lcas at the same time. Here's a few pics and good luck whichever you choose

4liter,
Yeah the wife bought me tires for my birthday, what a cool present huh. I think I've just about decided on the Steeda G-trac pack Stage 1. As soon as I put those Saleens on it was obvious it was going to have to be lowered ASAP. I'll get some pics up and I'm sure you'll agree. Oh congrats on the 2010, I'm thinking of trading mine, if the rumor of the 5.0L is true. Just wouldn't be able to resist stock 400hp/400ftlbs. Well, assuming the compression ratio isn't so high you can't supercharge it without replacing the internals. In that case the 05s gettin an Edelbrock S/C.

Check this out, all I need is a transfer case, a front axle, and three cases of beer and I'm ready for the mud bogs...
For some reason the driver rear is actually about 3/8" higher so it looks even worse

I have the Steeda springs. Also have Bilstein shocks/struts, CHE lcas, relocation brackets, adj. uca, upper mount, and adj panhard bar, and panhard brace. Did it all at once so I can't say how much just the springs changed things. As it is now it's stiffer but doesn't bother me since it handles great.
