No pics from me, but do a search and you'll find plenty that way. I think Strano's are personally the best choice, and are of higher quality than BMR. Do your homework before you choose though.

I have sportlines currently and hate them, they sit way too low and you feel every bump on the road. If you ever plan on getting LT or even going over a speed bump then stay clear of the sportlines. On a positive note if I ever get my Stranos I'll gladly sell you my sportlines

This if you look at my signature pic my camaro has sportlines on it. They give the car a killer stance but the biggest tire I could run was a 285/35/18. I'll be switching them out for the BMR springs this weekend along with some SLP Biliestins shocks

not a camaro, but they're all the same. Running BMR's. love the height and the ride. Took a few days to get used to riding over bumps and things with the car lowered, but now I have no issues at all. Would look a lot better with rims that set out a bit further, but for now I'm good, thinking about spacers though. The rear tires sit so far back in the wheel well that you don't really notice just how low the car sits

also, i did the heater hose mod before getting springs, which I still went with when lowering it, so that adds to the drop as well

back when i was looking and comparing, they looked very similar, i dont think they'll have a very noticeable difference. Individual cars make them look different, rim/tire size/offset, whether the heater hose mod has been done or not, etc.

the only real deciding factor for me was that, when i want something, i want it NOW, or as soon as possible. BMR won there. At that time, as they seemed to be fairly often, Strano was behind on orders, so there would have been a wait to get them, and that didn't work for me.
