Suspension Q.

I am looking in to some lowering springs but don't know what to get. BMR has a package deal for $630 that comes with springs, Front camber bolts, upper strut mounts, adjustable panhard bar, and control arm relocation brackets. I am also looking at getting some H&R Sport Springs from MRT for $250. If there are any other suggestions please let me know. I am trying to stay away from Eibach as musch as possible.

What kind of drop are you looking for? I used Steeda ultra light springs on my 06 GT and really enjoyed them. Ride wasn't harsh and the drop wasn't quite as severe as with say an eibach pro kit.

i ran hr springs on my 03 and loved the hell out of them (after i put aftermarket shocks/stuts on her) im not sure what the drop is like on the newer ones but i put foxbody shocks on the back and 03gt struts up front. i was pretty impressed/.


the cost on the first package seemed a little low. might check the quality and customer reviews on the products. sometimes the cheapest isnt the best ya know

i am very happy with my bmr suspension. i do have the eibach pro kit myself and have no complaints.

I generally recommend H&R or Eibach for their mix or ride quality and performance without breaking the bank.

What drop does the BMR offer? That kit seems on par for price to me.

I love Steeda.

Everything looks good there, I don't agree with strut mounts but 05-06 strut mounts had problems so might as well replace those while your there. As long as thats not a 2 inch drop you should be good, 1 1/2 inch is probably most I would do with stock strut/shocks.

I decided against the BMR and went with some tokico shocks and struts, BMR adjustable panhard bar, and frpp lowering springs. I must say I am loving this setup. Also got the ford racing intake manifold.

Looks good!

Great job Alex. Adjustable suspension is always a great choice

Looks great! Congrats!

Thanks guys! Now I am trying to figure out whats next.

Gears? Shifter?

I have 4.10's and a roush short shifter. Getting ready to put in some pypes shorty headers that have been thermal coated and some 30lb injectors. I might just have to go with some boost or something.

Have you gotten a dyno tune? Can i ask why you feel injectors are you next mod?

No I haven't had it on the dyno yet. I don't know where to even get it done or pricing. My dad has a 94 cobra clone he just threw a 351 in and wants my injectors and is gonna sell me his brand new 30s for 125 along with my old injectors.

With what you have a dyno tune would be a good idea. An injector upgrade will necessitate it.

Alright. How much do dyno tunes usually run?

Are you running any sort of tune with your current combo? Which CAI is that in your pic? Looks like the C&L Racer or Steeda. Either way if you don't already have a new tune I'm surprised your not throwing lean codes.

As to the 30# injectors you do not need them. If you step up to forced induction you'll need more than 30# injectors most likely, so those really aren't necessary.

Go by and see Kurtis at Archangel Motorsports for a Dyno tune and info on pricing. He is the only one I'd trust locally to tune it for you. If you go to the Internet for a tune I'd suggest getting one from Brenspeed or Bamachips for N/A. My old 06GT ran 12.3 @ 110 N/A with a Brenspeed 91octane tune. Supporting mods were pretty similar to what you have. 410's, CAI, swaybar delete, driveshaft, drag radials. (btw I have the swaybar delete still if your interested. Still looks brand new. PM me for price)

^^^ this.

Yeah I have the bama 91 tune. The cai is the jlt series 3. I'll probably go by this week sometime and check it out.

Oh so you do have a tune?

You should be good with your bama tune. But never hurts to verify on the Dyno. Doug can fine tune your current tune with the info gathered on the Dyno as well.

Bama tune is fine, I would pass on the injectors and make your dad buy some of his own HA!

You dont really need shorty heads, waste of money in my opinion as they dont gain you much of anything for the cost and time spent installing. Long tubes would have been my choice.
