BMR suspension results

Disclaimer:
All these numbers are from the PDR and in car timer.
Here are some before and after numbers from my BMR suspension upgrades:

Before
Best 0-60 no assist- 3.8
Best 0-100 no assist- 8.8
Best 0-60 launch control- 4.1
Best 0-100 launch control- 9.0

After
Best 0-60 no assist- 3.7
Best 0-100 no assist- 8.7
Best 0-60 launch control- 3.7
Best 0-100 launch control- 8.8

Seems to have made a small difference with just the traction control off but a much larger difference with launch control, which I personally think is the better indicator.

What differences do you notice in the handling of the car?

None.
Just more solid under acceleration.

Good. I plan to do quite a bit to the rear of my car using BMR products. I assume you performed these tests with the stock SC3 tires?

MPS4S

I like the stock tires better. However, with the upgraded suspension, the 4S is now a liveable tire.

My pony has BMR suspension front and rear. Cradle lock-outs and bushings rear, 4 pt. brace for the front. These 2 mods help running through the twisty's, progressive springs also compliment the BMR suspension.

I drive a 2018 SS 1LE, no way I'd do all that to my car... Horrible idea.

Wow, thanks for the info, it is great and appreciated! I asked for advise from BMR, and a quote, for improving time out of the hole. They recommended exactly what you did, plus the rear cradle lockout bushing kit. (But mine is not a 1LE.) Will be ordering up their items tomorrow... ;-) I might do the front end after that.

Is the 12.0 best quarter time in street trim i assume?

What part numbers were swapped? Your numbers are useless without a Bill of Materials and alignment before and after.

He's not asking you to. His comment is an anecdote for his Mustang.
