I love my BMR stuff. Every suspension mod I have is BMR.

Lowering springs, UCA, LCAs, Panhard, Panhard Support, LCA relos

Be mindful of the bushing you choose as well. It will greatly affect NVH...

sorry to bump but the guy that is installing my lowering springs said control arms are a must for these cars after they are lowered.

to lower a mustang it costs over 1k now in parts/ labor?

That guy doesn't know what he is talking about. I'd find someone else to install them for you. And quick.

LCAs were a must for me. My car popped like crazy going over Bumps after the sportlines. What all are you having installed? I could see 1k plus for parts and labor if your doing shocks as well

panhard bar, lowering springs were 360 shipped. Install with alignment is 300, cheapest control arms I found were 400. Looking at just over 1k.

Lower control arms you can do in a driveway with some buddies and beer.

Are you looking at adjustable LCAs or fixed length? Not really any need for adjustables.

I can do the install at my house and all you will need is alignment. And just get the non adjustable Bmr and relocation brackets and you will be fine. I have done 5 5.0s spring installs and it is easy. If you want to drive to wylie just let me know

Ok thanks i'll let you know still trying to decide wether or not to lower it, with all the work+cost required and sometimes I do have to take the car over heavy gravel/uneven roads (railyard) still debating.

Thanks Hypermotive on the quick shipping on my LCA brackets from Whiteline this week. I'll be installing them along with a set of J&M LCAs this weekend so I'll post my opinions after the install.

Bumping this post. Didn't want to start a new one. So after my car has been lowered for a few weeks now, I still can't tell if I need LCAs. How would I determine that? Seems to drive and sound just as fine as it did on stock springs and panhard bar.

Looks like BMR is the way to go.

Jayman, send me a price check please.
