@soleil your car is lowered perfectly in my opinion. I just can't find that part on the st-suspension.com website. It only shows 2010-2015 springs. Do you have a part #?

Ok got it part #28261011 on st-suspension.net. 20mm front and rear but yours looks lower than that. What is your tire size ?

Apparently BMR has done track testing with their lower springs on the MR.

You have your info backwards mountain. It effects the rear more. Front feels fine. The rear has a slight bounce at high speed rebound. They can’t figure out a better spring rate for the rear. The more they lower it the more it bounces. Trust me I know. I have them on my SS 1LE and it has slowed me down about .5-1 sec on a very familiar 2.7 mile road course.

For a MRC car, I think the best thing to do spring wise is keep stock ride height and just use stiffer springs. Lowering a MRC car is not good in general as the programming no longer matches.

I went thru the same issue on my Audi TTRS which also used the magnetic dampers. There was a need for springs on the TTRS though and I used MSS springs. They firmed things up, dialed out the understeer, and eliminated the dive/squat, but they didn't lower the car from stock. It worked great and didn't negatively affect handling. Granted they consulted with the program engineers from Audi who tuned the TTRS and spent a lot of money on R&D and track testing to make sure they didn't muff up the handling.

Honestly, I do not think that the 1LE needs to be any lower than it is stock, as far as wheel gap, there is minimal to begin with. I would only add springs to that car to stiffen it up some.

That is the one thing you have to get used to with MRC cars, the spring rates do not need to be as high as normal because the MRC shocks can tighten things up a lot more than standard shocks, but the offset to this is the car feels a little wishy washy at low speeds because of the softer springs and no need for the shocks to tighten way up say like when going over speed bumps or driveways.

The 1LE has no brake dive when braking hard to speak of, so there is no reason for stiffer springs there, but it could use less squat, however when I put the solid rear cradle bushing in from the ZL1 1LE kit, that will probably reduce that.

So in conclusion, the 1LE doesn't need a spring change if you care about performance first and looks second.

I'm looking forward to that cradle kit feedback. I've been eyeballing the BMR cradle stuff for some time now and I'm always more interested in OEM offerings before going aftermarket.
