You made the right choice, the BMR 1" drop springs are the best. Properly installed ( timing of all bushings ) and you will have that lowered look and 99% OEM ride. There are times I wish I kept mine.

GROUNDED TO THE GROUND?!? Does it have stuff that you like? Like the rims, and the sleekness to the body?

I would go with the coil overs instead of the springs. Nothing wrong with them, but like everybody else mentioned they are a bit stiffer. Around here, the roads have ridges that stick up and you really do feel them. On smooth roads the springs are fine.

I'm thinking that the BC Coilovers are the way to pay up front then have to go back and spend more to correct it.

I love my Pfadt lowering springs and sways. Did both at the same time so I can't say how it would feel with just springs. Normal roads seem just like the stock ride. The only harshness I even notice is over sharp bumps like where they have paved over an existing road. Ride is way more planted and it is a completely different animal on a road course. Car stays flat and in control! Just have to be careful on sharp rises and learn to take them at an angle. Had them for several months now and no regrets. Coilovers would be ideal, but I have been told by experienced racers that the proper setup can be time consuming. This was a good compromise for me since I only see the track 2-3 times a year.

Getting new rims and don't know if I'll need to lower my car to pull them off
Hey guys I'm looking to order Stance SF03 wheels in the brushed titanium finish with a 20x11 wheel in the rear. Due to the deep concavity of the wheel I'm worried it won't look right unless I lower my car. I'm hoping for some opinions on if it'll still look good without having to lower my car. Thanks in advance for the advise and opinions!
