I haven't heard of anyone successfully lowering the vert by more than an inch due to the weight with springs alone. Would need to look into Coilover applications.

BMR 1.0" springs are perfect. They actually lower more like 1.2". DO NOT DO THE 1.4". I did those and was not happy. I took them off and went with the 1.0.

1.4" all the way around





Here is my car on 1.0" BMR all the way around so you can do a side by side comparison. It is just a hair higher than the 1.4" but rides 100 times better.






Here is the stock 4x4 look, LOL.

Looks good. I like the 1.4 look a little better but if it doesn't ride at all maybee I should go with the 1"

What about using the the BMR kit:

SP025 - Lowering Spring Kit, Set Of 4, 1.4"Front, 1"Rear

It reads only for v8 what do y'all think for a 2012 V6 vert?

Pedders offer a 1.3" drop front spring and a 1.0" drop spring for the rear.These should be a good set up on the vert.and you don't have to cut the bump stops, with the Pedders springs they are designed to work with the oe struts and bump stops.

Better late than never

Bush Timing

Step 1. Pull the car up on to a drive uplift.

Step 2. Loosen the following bolts/nuts:
Front:
---Inner Control Arm Bushing
---Inner Radius Rod
Rear:
---Trailing Arm Bushings (both ends)
---Toe Rod Bushings (both ends)
---Lower Control Arm Bushings (Inner)
---Upper Control Arm Bushings (Rearward)
---Lower Strut Bushings

Step 3.
Grab the subframes or sway bars, and jounce the car up and down a few times.

Step 4.
Tighten all of the nuts/bolts to spec.

Step 5.
Align the car at the new ride height.
