After running all BMR on my GT500 for a few months (250/980 linear), over the new years break I installed the Steeda springs (350/1200) and later the big 1.5"/38mm front bar and skinny rear 19mm comp bar. I thought they might be snake oil, but I'm very happy with the change.
The springs gave about the same ride height as the bmr's but the higher rate keeps the car from bottoming out much better on track and on road surface heaves. Lap times stayed pretty similar, no break through there. They are better for street usage. The rear might be a tad easier to rotate mid corner and on exit, may have lost some power down capability.
Nice stance
A few weeks later I installed the massive front bar, and the comp rear bar with its relocation brackets. Very happy with it, the car is easier to drive now, and faster.
I have been fighting oversteer on trail brake/corner entry for a long time with this car. The setup I ended up with was BMR front 35mm bar at full stiff, oem base 24mm rear bar.
The Steeda 38/19mm bars in the mid settings improved the rear grip slightly on entry, without any additional understeer mid corner or exit.
Good parts - The rear bar mount relocation brackets work, check out the end link angles
The front bar ends have more clearance to the mag struts. BMR bar had the end links practically rubbing the struts.
Bad parts - front bar frame bracket needs a special tool to tighten the bolt under the alternator. An old gearwrench set I had worked, needed a low profile ratchet and socket.
