I don't recall saying they have no performance value. They are a great spring. BMR makes a wonderful product. That's why I have mostly BMR stuff on my car. I still wouldn't call it a performance spring. They were designed to drop the car, handle well and retain a smooth ride.

Apologies for not posting my damper setup. I'm riding on the Koni STR.T right now. I know the BMR springs have a mild drop similar to the Pro Kit and people seem to rave on their comfort. The Pro Kit springs are comfortable, but large bumps and broken pavement just upset them.

yeah, I'm definitely interested on how that turns out but most people pair those with the yellows. You are on 18s so I think you will be good to go.

I'd go with the BMR or Eibach Sportlines or K springs with those shocks/struts. You really can't lose with any of those.

Wasn't saying that you did say that. I was just saying I think that it could be listed under both.

I've decided to add Koni yellows to go with my Sportline springs. Can anyone with firsthand experience suggest some sway bars that will really help with handling?

JDBishopArts 12-03-2013 02:26 PM

Steve, see my post in the Hypermotive thread. Our cars come with pretty healthy sways stock but I saw a huge improvement in handling when I put the Eibach sways on. Biggest improvement on turn in reaction and control. For daily use the rear sway is probably too much sway bar. I've only got to run the autoX once so far but after I tightened down the KONIs it was awesome. Very happy with the handling.

Good job on deciding to go with the Koni Yellows Steve! I halted my order on the Ultralites. Probably going the Steeda Sports (1"F and 1.25"R) now with my Koni Str.t. I don't need to be too low as my 5.0 is still my daily. Can always go lower in the future.

Yep good choice on the yellows. Sometime I feel that the rear needs to be stiffer...then a guy on SVTP said he preferred his fronts on soft but the rears a little stiffer to combat the wavy motion on uneven roads or deep bumps. I said yep sounds about right. I got my STR.Ts for around $230 shipped from Auto Anything so I will never complain about those struts. Insane price.

I keep my fronts on full soft and my rears a 1/2 turn from full soft. Love it.

Thats a steal for STR.Ts I paid close to $400
