Car: 86 Trans Am, 92 Firebird Engine: 408 sbc, 3.1L of raw power Transmission: TKO600, 700r4 Axle/Gears: Moser 9", 3:70 trutac, open 3:23 | Re: coilover recommendations? for the drag setup, you may want a longer spring to help store and release energy during launch. Spohn recommends 14" springs.
BMR kit mounts the spring to the under side of the strut tower on a new plate, spohns kit mount the spring inside the strut mount.
I used the Spohn setup for a while, its a nice kit. Only thing i noticed was that depending on your alignment, the spring could rub on the lip around the opening in the stut tower sheet metal. Occasionally you would get a bang from it caused by the spring rubbing and catching a little. Other than that its a nice setup.
BMR's kit doesnt come with a strut mount, just the plate for under the strut tower. So i would say Spohns is worth the extra $$ because of the new mounts, but in the same breath, there is nothing wrong with BMR kit.
