BMR Suspension Hard at Work on the 6th Gen! - Page 3

2016SS · 02-14-2016, 10:59 AM

Looking forward to seeing if there is something for the magnetic ride control i would be first in line for this. I've always lowered my cars though the ride was usually rougher I always loved the look and performance of being lowered.

Keep up the good work no rush always worth waiting for a good product then a rushed one with problems!

I'm going to check with BMR tm again to see where their at on the springs.

Talked to BMR again today, they are in the final stages. Still at least 4 weeks till release of the lowering kit. MRC was not mentioned, standard kit first

Thank you for sharing the information, sir. Patiently, waiting for the MRC kit

These guys are true gearheads and won't release any products until tested to the hilt. They all have fast cars and do a lot of testing on their own rides. When it comes it will be flogged to the hilt and well built.

Question, have you guys tested your suspension at higher speeds?

Seems like this car gets a bit..scary I suppose would be the best word..at speeds of 120+ doesn't seem like it has enough downforce.
With the performance package I saw listed on the Phastek website, I'm curious if this will help the car more so on the upper end of the MPH spectrum?

For those of us that like to play in the upper digits outside of a 1/4 mile, how well will these cars handle with your suspension?

According to Hennessey it's "pretty stable to 170"

I only took mine up to 13MPH, without any hint of scary... I've been in cars that were really scary at 70MPH, this is not one of them.

Bluecyclone · 02-18-2016, 06:33 AM

BMR has really helped my suspension's shortcomings, and I've driven 130 mph. The "grip" at launch is much improved, as I did Koni sports on stock springs.

AlwaysAmerican · 02-18-2016, 08:29 PM

I'm not sure what car hennessey was using on the 170 run then, because it wasn't a stock SS that's for sure. 110 is where it starts getting iffy, everything north is when it gets interesting.

laynlo15 · 02-18-2016, 09:31 PM

I've had mine to 128 once and just short of 120 on another occasion and over 105 a couple times. Never felt anything but stable. Two drag cars have been over 135 and that's on slicks or drag radials. Mines all good. Not a fan of Hennessy, but it was a stock M6, just watch the video.

Drove my friends myself to 145, super stable. If yours isn't, you have a problem. Check tire pressures, alignment, and go from there.

crankaholic · 02-18-2016, 11:10 PM

I thought you might have been trolling before... but if it really feels unstable after 100MPH, there's something wrong. I just got it over 14MPH (empty straight highway with miles of concrete barriers on either side and no on/off ramps), it's one of the most stable cars I've driven... and this was on winter tires (V rated - 149MPH).

Agree with SS 1LE, check pressure then alignment. If it's still iffy, take it to the dealer and tell them it's unstable at speed.

yep, if you feel iffy at 120 something is definitely wrong. was going 120 with the wife in the car and she had no idea.
