Anyone move from Mach V springs to NM springs?

 

^nice! Great rear camber now, too.

 

Well, I think this is as low as she'll get....It's pretty frikkin low. Doesn't look that way from the side, but the shield is less than 2" off the ground. Just about any dip or bump I hear the "chh" of the shield hitting the floor. Oh well, as long as it's not hitting the underside of the bumper I shouldn't be that worried, right?

Also, what exactly are these shields for, anyway?

Picture proof that it's less than 2", that's how tall this card is...

 

May want to get a skid plate - protect the oil pan.

 

Just installed NM springs. The drop is perfect at 1.25".

 

About to in a week or so

 

Great. Height looks to be similar, ride is said to be better. Please keep us updated.

I've run the Mach V springs for about 2 yrs on a 07 R56, SS, non-runflats. You?

 

Yes and will be selling these right after they are off.

 

Anyone running this springs with JCW body kit and 16" stock wheels?????

 

I'm not, but I must say I have to be the first or one the first to have these springs installed and I have about 5k on them now with no rubbing, even with 4 people in the car. I just wanted to give an update as to how great they have lasted thus far.

 

i was running them with some pretty flush 17's, and had no rubbing at all, with 4 people in the car. I had a solid 6k miles on them too.

the ride in the rear is kinda rough for the passengers though...

 

TWISTER, do you have your springs installed?

 

I hope the car didn't fall on you or something. If all is good and the springs are installed... please compare them to the Mach Vs you took off. Thanks!

 

Anyone else notice less torque steer after lowering with these springs (or any springs)?
Installed a set over the weekend and I now have almost no torque steer, where as before it I had a ton.

 

Yup, I have virtually no torque steer in street driving. (have LSD and lots of mods that generate plenty of torque)

I believe most people report way less torque steer.

 

I'm worried about the front bumper... I have to leave my driveway sideway, if not, I rub just a little...

 

I have the factory sport suspension on 07 MCS, and only other mods are torque arm inserts and non-runflat tires (stock 16 inch. wheels) and made the spring swap to nm's last week. Definite big improvement in handling-- much less torque steer, much more controlled breaking. Don't feel the front end raising up and transfering the weight to the back end like before when launching. Ride is also smoother than before over the rough roads where I do most of my driving (Seatle I-5 corridor), but still much more positive feeling of control in maneuvers.

I'm very impressed with how much bang for buck these springs add to the overall driving experience. The tendency is to put the foot into the gas a lot further and longer now that the car feels so much more responsive and controlled than before. Big thumbs up for these springs!

 

 

Nice Work -- Looks Great!

 

Glad to see many happy people. We've sold several NM spring sets and had many happy customers.

 

I can't wait to get my set from Way on Thurs/Fri to install on my Clubman. Just wondering if anyone (especially Clubmans) has been thru the "Vibration after lowering" problem as mentioned here https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-lowering.html.

 

It's still not as bad as the old 2006 and below "Sport Suspension" I love these coils.

FYI for everyone else, the thread is about NM Engineering Coils. You can get them from NM Motorsports, but they don't make them.

 

No problem on my Clubman.

 

just ordered mine today :D

 

After much deliberation and post reading, finally went with the NM's. Had TSW's (first
pic is stock sport susp) and while the ride was better than stock, like others have said
the front never dropped as much as expected.
For me, the NM's have the perfect amount of drop (not slammed) and still ride well.
Thanks to everyone for providing so much useful info and making this a good decision!
