BMR GT350 Handling Springs

[RedSVT95]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of installing the BMR Handling Springs for my '18 GT350. I worked on the rear first and installed by lowering the subframe one side at a time. For those that have installed these, the instructions mention trimming the front and rear bump stops, but there are no steps outlining how to handle the rears - has anyone done this? The Magneride shocks make me a bit nervous with the wiring coming out of the top of the shock. I guess I'm a little confused, because the installation videos I've seen for the Ford Performance springs mention nothing about trimming the bump stops and that kit is a bigger drop.

I also discovered after-the-fact that a number of bolts are one-time use. Does everyone replace the subframe, stabilizer link, and shock bolts/nuts?

I will be attacking the front springs once I get back from vacation and installing my Vorshlag caster/camber plates at the same time.

Thanks,

Brian

I did not trim any bump stops on my gt350 when I installed these last year. The lowering is very minor, and the gt350 is already setup to ride lower than GTs. Also did not replace any subframe bolts, everything torqued back up properly and has not moved.

Thanks, Stan! Any chance that you noticed your front springs coming into contact with the strut towards the bottom?

I think they are close like that too, but no ill effect, or noises in the last 2yrs.
