Debate on BMR/Eibach/Staying Stock

ellanor6.2 · 06-18-2023, 10:45 AM

Hello, I need input from those more knowledgeable than me on this subject. I will give a brief breakdown of what I am thinking and the measurements I have at the moment.

I can not decide between BMR Performace Springs or Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, I have a 1SS(Non-MRC) and currently running in the front 20x10 +25 on 285/35/20 Nitto NT555 G2 and rear on 20x11 +28 on 305/35/20 Nitto NT555 G2.

My question is this: can I run either the entire kit or just a rear kit but which brand to go with, or should I stay stock ride height due to the tire sizing? Open to all questions and answer you may have. Thank you!

You might have answered your own question by now, but surprised no one chimed in.

My thoughts: There's no way I would consider only doing the rear. If you just did the rear, would you be OK with the front being higher? To me, it would look really bad. If you don't rub anything now, especially when cornering hard over rough asphalt, I would think being lower would not cause it to rub either. After all, the suspension is still going to have the same endpoint at full compression, lowering springs or not. I doubt the brand of spring matters too much in terms of overall ride quality and performance - though there's TONs of guys that will argue for one or another. I ran Eibach on my old '95 but bought H&R for my 2020. Not installed yet, but I'll get to it sometime this year probably.
