Do you by chance have a part number list for all the rear suspension parts you threw in - including the shocks? springs? This would be greatly appreciated.
See how it didn't lower much even with the lowered springs, because the BMR lower arms pull the lower shock mount in towards the diff 20mm. It makes the shock more vertical, lifting the car.
I could see these parts helping handling a ton, but seems like it'd make traction even worse. You want weight transfer to the rear, but with the new shocks/springs and all the poly bushings, in my head I imagine there being less transfer since the rear won't be squatting as much. I could be completely wrong, too. I'd trade traction for the better handling any day, anyways. My '09 GT will need some suspension love soon, has 141k and I use it for delivering medical supplies. First on the list will be front strut bearings/bushings.
With the 275 general gmaxs I have on the car it’s incredible hard to break the tires loose, even in the rain. it all equates to less movement forward and aft of all the components under load. The stiffer spring rate with the eibachs and stiffer valving of the ppv shocks and struts still allow plenty of transfer to allow it to plant properly. If I had topped out coilovers I’d probably be worried

Check out part 1 where we mention where we got all of the parts from
Do it feel like you getting more power to the ground with the new set up?
Doesn’t corner like the titanic anymore

After a few months the car got lower, the springs settled

Can I get a link to the parts used?
Go to the first video, we covered where the parts are from
