Really don't want to mess with the 1le's handling since its so good but would definitely appreciate a lower stance.

Very Nice look! I don't high speed stability is an issue - put your foot down unless the Po-Po is around!

Also, please feel free to post more pics.
It is a little stiffer when going over bumps, but she can fly big time (and I mean big time) , stick tight to the road and definitely no issues.

I'll be adding the BMR 1" in the back only this spring. I'll let you know how it works out.

I'll be changing my PFADTs for some BMR springs soon. I wanted some reviews before taking the plunge.

Now if anyone out there has the 1.25" BMRs on, please post some pics.

I was thinking of going 1.25" bmr springs on my 1LE. But after seeing all of these pics with 1", it gives a really nice look. Not sure if 1.25 would be too much.

This is my current drop with the Pfadts (drop is right at 1" over stock). Keep the in mind that on this pic I have 305/35/20 tires. I am looking to get a little more drop and adding tighter / stiffer spring.

Who timed their bushings after the drop? OR did you guys just do an alignment and called it a day?

I had mine timed. Bushes neeed to be timed in order to get the most performance out of your springs/drop. If not, it will feel very bouncy and cause premature wear on the bushes.

This looks fantastic over stock! The looks worth it alone in my opinion!
