Yeah I think my relo brackets sit at 3" off the ground. They sit in line with the tire so as long as your tire goes over it you're good. If you cut off a curb or your car wash has a rail for your tire to sit in you won't get over it.

Very nice, OP! Your car sits perfect...:beer:
im going to go with the bmr setup also but were the gt500 strut mounts necessary?
He installed struts made for a 2005-2010 Mustang, so yes.
Gotcha. Seems like I read last night these springs were 11-13 and did not need any extra parts. Back on the hunt for a different setup
I'm happy with my BMR setup. I have my lower control arms in the middle hole also.
The BMR springs can be used with any strut for a 2005-2013 Mustang. The only reason you have to change strut mounts for 05-10 style struts is because the piston shaft at the top of the strut is a slight different diameter, so 11-13 struts mounts will not work.
Is it just me or does that thing seem to sit pretty low for BMRs? Just looks more than an 1"/1.5" drop
You don't need any extra parts other than a panhard bar to center the rear axle after you drop it. A lot of people reuse the factory strut mounts but they are only designed to be used once and will fall apart during disassembly if you aren't careful. I also hear some guys complaining about suspension noise when reusing them. I also hear some say the factory struts are crap and don't last long after using them with lowering springs. I just wanted to do it right to begin with and now I'm glad I did. The car just has a much better feel to it than it did before.
I think BMR advertises 1.0 inch in the front and 1.25 in the rear. I didn't measure it before I started but the top of the front fender sits at 27 1/2 inches now and the rear sits 28 inches.
This is the drop I got from my BMR springs on my 2013 GT Brembo
Great info

Interesting that your PR grew 1/4".
Yeah, not really sure where that came from...only thing I could contribute to it would be the springs had shifted/settled around to better distribute themselves.
