I was wondering if I could get some opinions here. I have a 97 Trans Am WS6 and I am going to install the following parts,
1)BMR tubular SFC's
2)BMR LCA's
3)BMR bolt-in relocation brackets
4)Eibach sportline springs
5)I may buy a BMR STB

Now will there be a noticeable difference in the way my car handles? Also, next year when I upgrade my shocks I'm thinking of getting Bilstiens, how much will these help? Please give me your opinions and suggestions.
Thanks!

 

I don't know about the BMR stuff - I have Global West stuff. Both product lines look beefy. I don't like the idea of a bended STB like BMR has though. There are several quality straight ones available.

I do know that you probably won't like the Eibach Sportlines- big drop; most folks get the Prokit. Recently I ordered some stuff from FS '01 Stranoparts.com
and let Sam make some changes to my set up on my '97 TA. I got my Bilsteins revalved to his specs for me, got a 35mm bar to replace my 1LE (G2) up front and some Ground Control Coilovers. The rear of the car will remain the same for now with Bilsteins, SLP Level 1 Eibachs and a 1LE (G2) rear bar. I suggest you give Sam a call and talk to him about your goals for the car before you buy anything.

 

Your sig says you already have relocation brackets. Whatever. You will notice a definate difference. Better or worse, who knows? I would get the shocks along with the springs and leave off the control arms if there was one thing you needed to leave off to save $$$. You have to remove the springs to change shocks. Either wait for the springs, or spring for the shocks too. A 35mm front bar really helps out in the twisties too.

You'll notice a big change just with springs alone. Each other addition will give mild changes too.

 

I already have the springs, relocation brackets, lca's, sfc's and adjustable panhard bar. I chose the sportline mostly based on looks and also because I rode in my brothers 95 t/a, lowered 2 inches, and I likes the ride. Shocks will come next year as my brother's a GM mechanic and can install them at work after hours.
So Bilstiens are a good quality shock?

 

Sportline springs are for show, not go. I suggest returning them for the pro kit. Bilstiens are good shocks. Save your brother the time and hassel by installing the shocks and springs at the same time.
