[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14816825, member: 124691"] Turbosnake95, thanks for posting! The packages on our site are indeed for 2005-2010 Models (07-10 GT500) - and are a little more generic than I like. I will assume your car is the track pack? If so, here is what I recommend personally, for your suspension set-up. [B]SP072[/B] - GT500 Specific Handling springs. 260F/220R Spring Rates (OEM Track Pack is 257F/200R) *These will drop the car about .75" F and about 1" R. *I kept the front rates similar to an OE Track Pack for two reasons. A: The Bilsteins work best with a 260lb/in spring, and B: Most common struts do NOT work well with higher than a 260b/in spring - I dont want my customers feeling like they are riding around in a dump truck. [B]FOR-M18183C [/B]- GT500 Upper Mounts (always good to replace these when replacing springs) [B]PHR006 [/B]- Adjustable Panhard. You need to center the Rear Axle after lowering, and this is the best and most common PHR found underneath S197's around the globe [B]PHR007[/B] - PHR Support Brace. Many people question this modification. We have been building PHR Suspensions for 20 years, and have seen long term effects on OE PHR Supports when upgrading the PHR and supporting mods. For the price, no brainer. [B]SB041[/B] - The baddest front bar around. This BMR unique design is a one and only, and is the best solution for the front of a GT500. It is 5-Way adjustable, and can be used effectively with the BMR Rear Bar, or with the OEM GT500 26mm rear bar. If your car has a smaller than 26mm rear bar, than I recommend upgrading to our SB042. [B]CAB005[/B] - RLCA Relocation Brackets. Must have on a lowered car, for maximized performance. These will correct your LCA Angle, and also aide in achieving more traction. On a combo like yours, the Middle Hole will be the best for starters. [B]TCA021[/B] - Adjustable Poly/Bearing LCA. These are my favorite LCA that we manufacture.

Unlike the ACA004, these TCA021 will allow for you to center your rear tires perfectly, and dial in the thrust angle. [B]SRK001[/B] - Well, if you need them, you need them. Now onto the spring selection. I do see that "handling" was not mentioned, but 10% drag racing is.
