Cb005 and performance springs

[Soonertim4]

Well I got my performance springs, vertical links, adjustable toe rods, cradle lockout kit, and the bearings out of stock toe rods into lower control arm. I could not get my bk055 installed because the brt001 tool would not work. The round plate started to bend. Overall I am satisfied with the install I know that I severly need an alignment and the front drop looks perfect, but the rear drop not so much.
Does installing the cb005 limit the drop in the rear?

Or will it just take time to settle? Or was something possibly installed wrong?

BMR has stated all their springs to have ~0.5" rear drop.

You also appear to have smaller diameter rear tires than stock (1" less in overall diameter, so 0.5" more gap to top of wheel well).

That is the thing though it didn't drop
This is right after I put my wheels on before springs were installed

You made sure the spring coil was seated in the control arm? Also they will settle some.

 

[Soonertim4]

I did. Made sure that the spring was turned all the way to the stop

I know that it is only a 1/2'' drop so I am not expecting anthing drastic by any means. Maybe it will just take some time for the rear to settle since the drop was minimal. I am very happy with the traction and stability in the rear now. My steering wheel is a little crooked now and my tires set out a little in the rear and in a little in the front but im sure an alignment will fix that

Do you have whole-car pics after lowering?

I have the same spring kit and rears settled @ .500 drop. The CB005 kit should not affect ride height at all. I am also still running the stock P-Zeros.

Lowering springs should always create more negative camber after installing so curious as to why you say you are getting the opposite result for the rear. The cb005 will have no affect on the ability to lower the car.

I will try to get some pictures today when I get off of work

I just did the same installation a few weeks back and mine is definitely lower in the rear than that. The rear is not as low as the front though just as somebody already said. I would check to make sure your springs are in the perches and everything.

Here is mine right after the install. I did vertical links, control arm bearings, cradle lockout, performance springs, and toe rods.

I will have to crawl under and take a look. The car is not driving wierd or at least it didnt coming home last night. I would figure if the springs aren't set that the car wouldn't drive right. I dunno though. Like I said earlier I am happy with the front and the traction in the rear, it just looks high.

Hey DrDing, how long after installing springs did they settle? Did it take a bit or was it instant?
