The Borla Touring is not as loud as the Magnaflow Streets either, so your will be a bit louder.
Oh yea I didn't know they were louder. I need to just go ahead and install them. They have been sitting around as I do other mods. I will get them in before I go with the S-types.

Just about every dealer is going to be different when it comes to mods they are ok with. My dealer is ok with most mods (including my tune) I want to do but at the same time I'm not concerned with the warranty and haven't been since I ordered this one.

Panhard bar recenters your rear end. You will probably notice that on one side of the car the tires stick out more than the other side (in the rear). To fix this you need an adj. panhard bar. I got the panhard support brace to go with it because the stock piece is not that great. I love my BMR springs. Great ride, stance, and handling. Only slightly firmer than stock and I do mean slightly! Lol

Good to know...sorry if im bothering you bro...just new to mustangs and this forum.

Wanna know what's best for my car

I might get springs and panhard bar early next year. cuz when i get springs, ill have to get an alignment as well. So have to save up a bit for all that.

But before all that i want to get an amplifier, headunit and sub preferably.

get that sound system going

So how would you compare the stock springs to the bmr's? First of all how would you describe the stock springs? (sorry lol, i just wanna know)

No prob. Your not bothering at all. We all here in the forum to learn from each other and enjoy the many Stang b/c we are all mustang enthusiast. I think the stock setup is the most comfortable ride you can get. It rides well but has sup par handling imo unless you have the performance pack and then it's only slightly better. Any lowering is going to make your ride stiffer but I think the BMR are as close to stock ride as far as comfort goes and still get good handling.

When lowering you should change them out because stock shocks/struts were not made to work with any other springs besides the stocks ones and it will make your Stang handle better. You more likely to wear them out faster depending on how low you go. For example you could get away with Eibach pro-action springs as they only lower .8 front and 1.2 rear. I did this on my '12 v6 and it worked fine but afterwards I didn't think it was low enough. I wouldn't go any lower than 1.25 on the stock stuff and I would still have a plan to change them out.

yup i have heard shocks been blown due to too much lowering on stock springs. (and mostly cuz the stock struts were already old -- that made them blow that much faster)

i know what you mean...how much is the drop for the bmr springs?

I'm lowered on Ford K-Springs, and still on the stock struts and shocks that came on my Brembo car. Ride is a lot rougher than stock, but not intolerable. I'm also on 20's, and running 295s out back, so I feel the bumps.
