BMR rear lowering springs

[shaner613]

i used the Moog 5413 on the rear of my Wagon, it probably dropped it 2" no isssues with ride quality

Those springs are just direct swap if I recall. I needs a set for my SS. No extra pieces other than the upper rubbers correct?

Best i could do, is a side shot, With those Rear springs, the wheel opening is just over the tire, If i remember right 28" .. the car still rides well, and it is direct fit.
I do run a shorter than stock length shock, because i moved the lower shock mount up for wheel clearence as well. Because of my 12 bolt my wheels are a 5.5" BS and I run a 275/60 Rear tire, ..your tire/wheel clearance may vary.. with using those Springs.
I also have Air bags in them, i dont cruise around with air in them, but i use my wagon to haul schtuff sometimes, if i do i air them up, and for a occasional trip to the track, they work well there too!

I hope it works for you. I am now on my third(?) set of springs trying to get my ride height and load capacity (including unsprung weight) needs met - it is a wagon after all.

I had the same issue, tried cut variable rate replacement springs, Eibach and CPP lowered springs. None of these gave me the exact height and spring rate I wanted and all 3 sets sagged over time. I did the Speedtech coilover conversion and now run a double adjustable Viking "Crusader" autoX valved shock with a 350 lb spring. The coilovers allow me to set the perfect height, I can control the spring rate, the springs are guaranteed to not lose more than 2% of it's spring rate/height over the life of the shock, the adjustability allows me to tune for different race venues and I can turn the dials down for a comfortable street ride. Coilovers are more spendy but after switching over I wouldn't want to go back to a traditional coil spring and shock configuration.

UMI has linear lowering rear springs and they can give you the spring rate. I believe they use them on their Green Machine
