Lowered my car today finally.

So today I finally lowered my 2012 IOM SS. I went with the BMR 1" springs. Haven't driven it too much but, from the little I have there are no complaints. I do really like the new look though.

I got the springs used off the marketplace for 200. I installed them myself. It took about 4.5 hours to do.

We appreciate you using BMR Suspension!

The car definitely looks good and has a good stance. If you can post some pictures from the side of the car.

Sorry I don't have shots from the side directly. The ride is great. I honestly cannot tell much of a difference. It corners quite nice though.

Very nice I have been debating this in the future. Do you need to align it after the instal?
