Best lowering springs?

So in other words, as long as the customer can provide proof or purchase from either Steeda or an authorized distributor, Steeda will stand by their products 100% by replacing them for the customer under it's lifetime warranty including a guarantee in writing if in the event they should ever fail.. Therefore would this be considered as accurate ?
If you purchased it directly from us & can show proof of purchase, then that is the first step - also being the original owner. Warranties are non transferable.
We will work with the customer to ensure the product is properly examined & determined that the part failed under it's intended use & under normal operating conditions.
In short, yes, we stand behind our products 100% but if a customer calls & says part xxxx failed ... we will need to determine how it failed & rule out abuse by the consumer.
Best Regards,
TJ

So I think I have decided on the BMR lowering springs. But just for future reference, what are good quailty shocks and struts that go with the BMR? I am on a budget so nothing too expensive. Just wondering so I know how much it would be in total for everything. Thanks!

A little more detailed than that explanation.

Anyway, thanks once again for clarifying the terms and conditions regarding the warranty policy..

You made a really good decision in selecting the BMR lowering springs.. As for good quality shocks and springs are concerned ? I would personally select the Koni sport adjustable's as Koni's are considered as top quality dampers alongside Ford Racing Performance Parts, Steeda and Bilstein..

If your unable to get the entire strut and shock kit at the same time ? You can always purchase just one kit at time, which is exactly what I did..
I currently have just the Koni strut kit for right now and will purchase they're shock kit this upcoming spring..

If you expect quality at a really great price ? Again I would recommend Koni as they also have a 25% sale every year beginning in either April or May and runs until the end of August if I recall correctly..

Kit's as in you are just buying two of each correct? I can't find any strut kit, all I can see i just buying two struts, and same thing for the shocks. Also, about the panhard bar. Does the brand matter about the panhard bar? Because some are cheaper than the others. And could I just get the lowering springs first, and then if the rear axle shifts can I just order the panhard bar later on? Or is it mandatory to fix the rear axle the second it shifts over? Thanks.
Therefore you can always purchase the 2 struts separately and then get the shocks at a later time..
As for the panhard bar, IMO the brand does matter and I would recommend BMR, CHE performance, Steeda, Eibach, SR Performance or from Ford Racing Performance Parts..
And yes, you can always get the lowering springs first, which is exactly how I started out and then later upgraded to the Koni struts and strut mounts..
Just as I mentioned in my previous post, I currently still have the stock shocks for right now but will be upgrading to Koni shocks sometime in the spring..
I also haven't upgraded to an adjustable panhard bar just yet and still using the stock bar, but plan to upgrade to either a BMR, Steeda or Eibach bar around the same time I'll be doing my shock upgrade..
Although it's recommended to do an adjustable panhard bar upgrade, it is not mandatory, however depending on how much your car is lowered will also affect how much the rear axle will shift..
IMHO I would recommend starting out by upgrading your springs first, followed by upgrading to an adjustable panhard bar and then upgrade your struts and then finally do your shock upgrade last..
At any rate, If your budget only permits doing one upgrade at a time ? You have several different options in which to choose from just as I did

Yes, that is correct as in just two of each at a time.. 2 struts = 1 pair and 2 shocks = second pair or you purchase all 4 which is the dampering kit/package which consists of both shocks and struts combined..
Therefore you can always purchase the 2 struts separately and then get the shocks at a later time..

I would say they're both about the same to adjust for the rear axle, so I would also recommend going with the BMR as well, especially if it's easier to install..
At any rate, I know that's what I'll be getting for my GT

Steeda. Period.
I have Steeda Comp's even, adjustable. Love how they ride.
Had Ford K springs before. They were junk, from a ride, compliance, and height standpoint.

Now I've had them on for how long? I don't remember when you bought them... a year? more?
Now that I have "seat time" in them, they ride so much better. I love em.

I have Eibach Sportlines in with the stock struts and shocks. The car is low, really low. I would recommend doing shocks and struts with the spring swap. That's next on the list for me. I just ordered my Supercharger and one piece driveshaft today so that is first.

Joe ! I know exactly where your coming from as I have the Eibach pro springs and was also running the stock suspension.. I've since upgraded to Koni yellow adjustable struts along with GT500 strut mounts..
My next upgrades will be: Koni yellow adj shocks, Steeda billet LCA's and BMR adjustable panhard bar..
