BMR or Sportline
 
Which one lowers the car more? American Muscle says the Sportlines are 1.4 in the front and 1.5 in the back, where as BMR claims to be 1.5 all the way around, but the Sportlines always look lower to me in pictures.

Sportlines are lower. Sportlines are up to a 1.9 drop. I didn't measure when I did mine but I know my car is lower than Derek and he has bmr

Yeah, Ryan's car is much lower than mine. Of course I say "much", but I would guess around another 0.5" or so.

I got 1.25" F and 1.5" R drop on my BMRs. That was measured 1 month after I installed them, about 2k miles, so plenty of time to settle.

Ryan, you said yours rode ok with the sportlines on stock shocks/struts? Was it bouncy at all?

Yea okay is the right term, Once I got the LCAs and relocation brackets. It was a little rough but not any worse than my lowered Mach was so I didn't mind it. Shocks and struts made a huge difference tho

Do the BMR and Sportline cars have a similar ride?

03MachMe 04-24-2014 03:25 PM

No idea. Never rode in a car with bmr

OP, if you weren't in Houston, I'd offer you a ride. I'd have to say that BMRs springs are more on the softer side of aftermarket springs, at least that's what I've heard people say. I've only ridden in my car with BMR springs.

All good man. I bought the sportlines today. I come through Dallas every now and then, woman has family there. I'll have to hit you guys up.
