[QUOTE=Ricardo@Phastek;8919684]Not BMR or Eibach. They are a house brand, we work with a manufacturer that is willing to allow us to put our name on the set.



Should have an MRC car hopefully soon so we can get some testing to see how it will work.


Those look good, but it sounds like you are planning on using the same exact spring for MRC? It does work but their is a lot of reasons why the big boys dont have kits for MRC cars....

We should have an MRC car in soon for testing but from what we have seen the springs look the same. We are not sure if a 1" option will be available but we are looking in to it.

The springs do look the same on and MRC car but we do plan on testing it to find out how it acts. Hopefully we should have something soon.


Springs NOW AVAILABLE!! Check it out!!

Are you looking for someone to offer their car to test on that has the MRC?

I think it's somewhat important to be transparent on who makes your springs since you yourself are not a trusted name in the suspension world like aforementioned brands. Not trying to be a dick just sayin : /

They aren't making their own springs. Ricardo was transparent about that when I contacted him. They are built by someone in California.

Completely understandable. Was not trying to say that we were making them in house, we are in no way a suspension manufacturer. The company that we are working with is the same company that makes the springs that we offer for the 5th Gen and now they wanted to make a set for our 6th Gen so we teamed up again. BG Suspension is the name of the company that we are working with, they have been very supportive with getting springs as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I love how the 1.5" drop looks, I'm just worried that lowering the car too far will impact drivability... Do you know how the stock ground clearance (of the oil pan for example)?

Is this one of those companies like Apple that's designed in California and manufactured in China? Looking at their building on Google maps shows a tiny little warehouse looking building that I would have a hard time guessing is enough room to manufacture their product.

Looks that way, also sounds like they are going to attempt to cash in on people with MRC clammering for a lowering spring by just offering the same exact spring because it "looks" the same. While looking the same is fine, but the spring rate change and lowering the vehicle overall will affect the MRC. Their is not going to be some light bulb moment when they are "testing" a standard spring on a MRC shock, people install non MRC springs on MRC cars now, they are just going to do the same, their is NO spring manufacturer making a specific spring for MRC, they are just the regular springs.

So in closing you guys wanted to lower your MRC car and dont care about them being specifically built for MRC, buy any brand spring.......such as the infamous Chinese company D3 who makes a MRC spring which is the exact same spring as their non MRC spring lol....
