I ordered Pedders 1inch drop for rear only. Ill try to report back. Gonna try to take pic before and after.

I bought 1” BMRs for all four corners but thus far only swapped out the rears. Def looks better and the ride quality hasn’t changed notably, which is good bc I don’t want to upset the handling of the car. If I had it to do over again I may consider the 1.25” like some of the others have mentioned on this thread, but I’m glad I made the purchase! Money well spent. Cheers!

I went with the Hotchkis 1” springs, definitely improved the look. Front is low but far from “too low”. Rears dropped a bit but has a slight staggered look. Ride quality is great, thankfully. It’s been my daily driver for years now and very happy with my choice. I was mostly worried about the ride quality turning to sh*t when making my choice and also wanted to make sure handling didn’t get negatively affected by going with some of the softer or too stiff springs. All in all very happy with it. I also have headers so didn’t want to go too low...but not sure if that’s a real concern on these cars.
