I'm about to install my BMR springs and supercharge at the same time. The BMR springs, upfront, seem to be specifically meant for the GT's weight only. I'm concerned when I add 100lb+ on the nose that my handling will be for the worse so I'm considering looking for 'supercharger springs' before I even install them to save on cost.

Is this completely ridiculous? Should I just work on weight reduction to counteract this (k-member, a-arms, etc)? How do the Steeda Sports hold up for a DD with a supercharger's weight? No autocross or strip, just a lot of miles daily driving, very long trips, twisty mountains and bad city roads.

 

I really don't think it's enough to upset things. I have the FRPP 'P' springs for the GT and they don't seem to be bothered by the extra weight of the Whipple & the T56 Magnum. The only weight reduction I have on the nose is the Steeda LW Rad mount.

 

That's great to know, I hope that holds true.

 

I had the Steeda Ultra-lite springs in the front of mine but when I put the TT setup on the added weight of everything made it so low I was scrapping on everything. I put the stock front springs back in and it sits just fine for me now. Is your SC a TS or centrifugal type? A TS setup should weigh about the same as my TT setup, a centrifugal will be less.

It will be a PD blower like the Roush TVS. I didn't know if I needed a more aggressive spring rate or what.

 

If you want lowering springs I would get something made specifically for the GT500 instead of the regular GT. I actuall like the stock fronts with the added weight. The ride quality isn't bad and the car sits about right for me. I still have the Ultra-lites in the rear.

I love my coil overs, 350 front springs, 275 rear springs.
