Summit White Blue Stripes SS 1" BMR Drop + Trailing Arms
Well I got them in the mail yesterday from BMR, 1" Drop springs and trailing arms. Started at 8pm, threw some Linkin Park on and went at it. Finished at 12:30......... except I forgot to trim the bump stops!!!!!!
 Soooo I really finished around 2am. But anyways here are some pics and as always BMR craftsmanship is top notch!

These are my alignment specs. is this alright for normal driving and occasional drag racing? also since that last drop measure pic it dropped another 1/8" before the alignment.

It feels great. I thought it would be a bit harsh but i was wrong. There is still plenty of travel for the suspension. Now it feels more glued to the road which is what you want

How long did you wait til you got it aligned? Or did you let it settle for a while before you took it in? I got my BMR 1'' springs as well in the other day. Bumpstops? Thanks

My recommendation is to do 100 miles and wait 2 days. Then I believe they are finished being settled in. Bumpstops are on the shocks and need to be trimmed.

The car looks amazing with the new BMR lowering springs. It looks like all the parts installed like they should and the springs gave the exact advertised drop. If you ever need any other BMR parts let me know.
