[QUOTE="jsip, post: 14834932, member: 162426"] Posting some of my thoughts on my new suspension setup now that I gave her some hell today. Setup: Eibach Pro (1", 1.5") BMR Upper Adj BMR Upper Mount BMR Lower non-adj BMR Relocators (middle hole, street tires) BMR Panhard Adj Car definitely feels more connected to the road, more stout around turns, less body roll, less squat, less brake dive. Overall I am loving how she handles now at low and high speeds (expressway). I do notice more gear whine about 65-70mph with my 3.73s (track pack) only on acceleration but disappears 70+. From all of my reading I expected this exact behavior. NVH is increased as you can hear the driveline, clutch engagement, the MT82 typical clunks - mostly during clutch action and riding a gear and tapping the accelerator. Nothing that wasn't there before, just more pronounced. A fine tradeoff in a little bit of comfort for performance, IMO. Nothing my Borla ATAKs can't get rid of with a heavy right foot ;) My only gripe is the relo brackets so far. Them suckers are TIGHT. Going on the vehicle they were fine, snug like they should be without being a hassle, but trying to change the hole configuration at the rear of the lower LCA. Holy cow, lol. I had issues getting the BMR lowers into position in the brackets fully greased up as the fitment is super tight. It's fine since the construction is hardcore but trying to change the hole config is proving to be an arduous task on jackstands. Tried today only to have it not budge after removing the LCA bolt, then the rear shifted backwards by about a half inch and to get it back into place I needed to use straps to pull the rear end forward again just to get it back in the middle hole haha! I have learned my lesson of working on the floor. I will need to hit the friend's dealer after hours and get her up on a rack with a pole jack to relieve some hanging tension to help me slide the control arm up a hole. Not complaining about how snug of a fit it is - I prefer that - but man, on the ground, forget it ha! Was much easier going in the first time since I didn't snug everything up until it was all in place.
