Parts Installed:
BMR lowering springs (1.25" F, 1.75" R)
BMR lower control arms
BMR panhard rod
Firstly the car looks extremely sharp (will update later with pics). The lowering springs got rid of the ugly wheel gap in the back and leveled out the car nicely. I was worried about having serious alignment issues after reading some stories on here. Not a problem. The car drove fine right out of the shop but I went and got it aligned because I knew it needed it. Only $60 for the alignment. I'm also running some of the widest rear tires I've seen on an 05 (305/35/18) and there is no problem with clearance.
Secondly the performance of all the parts is EXELENT. No more wheel hop(LCA's)!!!!! Tighter steering!! It's all so great now. I was also worried about the car riding rough after the springs. Nope. For me atleast it is still a very comfortable ride. The ride is stiffer but I would almost say the ride seems "smoother" than the stock springs.
Overall I would recomend these products to ANYONE who has a new mustang. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
P.S. When my shop told them I only paid $180 shipped for the lowering springs they looked like this: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img]
Great performance, great price.

I'm half way done with my install. The axle shifted on me so I'm having some bolt aligment problems, called BMR on it and they were very helpfull in walking through the fix. Just need to torque everything down tonight and clean up.
Got the Lower Control Arms, Adjustable Panhard rod, Panhard rod support brace, and LCA relocation brackets, and strut tower brace.
All products look really nice and are of excellent quality.
Glad to hear that the wheel hop will be gone.

Shifty,
darn your ride looks awesome. Love the rear window too. :-) I'm bouncing back and forth between the BMR and Steedas. I'm only going to run up to 255/45/18 all the way around. I also don't want to run into camber issues.
I understand the need for the panhard rod in case the back end shifts, but what are the lower control arms for and are they necessary? Thx...

Looks awesome! did you buy directly from BMR or somewhere else? I'm about to order me a set this week!
Is there a little rake on these springs or does it seem to level out both the front and rear?
