Quit being a pu$$y

I installed both sets 1.0" and 1.4" on my car. I only measured a 1/4" difference. You won't be able to notice 1/4" with out measuring.

Yeah, it is definitely hard to tell. I was gonna say screw it and just get the split drop but I just cannot make up my mind! If there isn't a night and day difference, I guess I would say 1" all around to help make stock dampers happy but IDK. The indeciveness is killing me...The orange coupe above looks HAWT!!

There is very little difference in the ride...so little, my pregnant wife didn't notice a change (trust me, she would let me know A little more road communication through the steering wheel and less roll during turns. A sportier and more crisp driving experience. Wish I did it sooner. Crappy pics. |

I know what everybody is thinking, "I wish i could see the different drops on the same car to get a better idea." but who would do that? Answer: this guy .
Here's my story, I bought BMR 1.0" all around and BMR 1.4" all the way around. Not sure if 1.4" all the way around was going to be too low so I bought both sets and would sell the set I didn't use. 1.4" rear springs did not work for my vert, my guess is that it was too heavy causing it to sit on the bump stops. So I installed the 1.0" rear springs and fixed that problem. Was going to keep it like this (1.4"/1.0") but couldn't sell a 1.0"/1.4" set of mixed drop springs. Decided to just install 1.0" all the way around and return the 1.4" springs (since I am going down in tire size I figured the 1.0" front drop would be better since the tires will drop my car another .4"). Luckily I took pictures and measurements of all three set ups. 1.4" drop: LF: 28 7/16 RF: 28 6/16 LR: 28 1/16 RR: 28 4/16 1.4"/1.0" drop: LF: 28 6/16" FR: 28 5/16 LR: 28 10/16" RR: 28 13/16 1.0" drop: LF: 28 10/16" RF: 28 11/16" LR: 28 9/16" RR: 28 12/16" the pictures are in the same order as the above sizes.

Here's a 1.5 drop on the front, and a 3/4" drop on the rear.

Well, I ordered the 1" BMR all around because of great reviews and recommendations. I know this will have a great ride but now I am hoping that it's low enough!

1.4" front and rear. The back is a little too low for my taste, I'll be ordering the 1" rears VERY soon.

Installed the springs by myself this morning and luckily my friend stopped over to help with the front strut shaft nuts. I didnt have a 15/16 wrench so we took the struts to his garage and hit em with an impact and they came right off. Install other than that was pretty damn easy. I am pretty happy with the initial results. I am hoping the break-in or work down another 1/4 inch would be perfect for me. The ride quality felt pretty damn good on the crap streets around here. I want to time the bushings but I do not have a lift and there is no way I will be able to crawl under there and loosen up those bushing bolts so IDK what to do...
