Nobody has done this?

How long does it typically take to change the springs?

I have the split drop. To me it wasn't about wheel gap. The front of my car just look a little higher than back

1.4 in front or back?

I had lunch with a car guy yesterday, and he said "nice rake you got going there." That noticeable. :(

How long does it take to do springs with impact?

I am looking forward to Koni Yellow Adjustables with lowering springs as an option. Hopefully, BMR will put a package deal together when the Yellows are available.

What length drop would you use to make your car low, decent ride and level?

Some confusion here, this thread is about 1.0 front, 1.4 back. Eliminating all rake.

Look at the bright side. Slap some mudders on there and you won't have clearance or traction problems.

Personally, I like the inbetween look of the 1.25in Pfadt springs.

Bump.... after all this time nobody has done 1.0 front drop, and 1.4 rear drop?

Too much rake here!

I don't have exactly what you're looking for since mine's a v6, but it's close. The split drop offered for the v6 comes with a 1.2" rear. I'll try to get some better pictures up tomorrow on my summer wheels.
