Default Pics of cars with lowered front ends?

I have seen some 4th gens with lowered front ends and it's really appealing to me... *eventually I'll get some BMR lowering springs for my Z in the front. Post up some pics up your car with the front lowered! I think that looks badass.

Here is my Camaro. QA1 coilovers 300-pound front and stock rears. I eventually installed the rear BMR springs.

Here are a couple of pictures with cars that have the front end lowered. All three of these cars are running Strange adjustable shocks on the front with 300lb front coil-over springs.

The black Trans Am listed above has our springs in the back, which leveled the car out nicely.

BMR springs front and rear. Koni lower perch on the front and HH mod on the rear




I have more pics if you want them. I keep forgetting to get measurements for you guys I'll do that when I go out and fix my fuel line. If you BMR guys want any specific pics let me know.

That looks killer

Debating doing this on my 98 Z28 come spring. A buddy
gave me the eibach pro kit 1.2" lowering springs for xmas.

If I just lower the front, I don't think I'll need to get the
rear lca relocation brackets or adjustable panhard bar?

Would I still need an alignment?

I dig the old school raked stance on these

I'd recommend lowering the car front and rear.

FYI, the front WILL scrape a lot more with just the front lowered. This includes the front center of the nose, not just the air deflector!

Even with only a 1.2 front drop on 17's?? My bilstein struts are new so it doesn't dive.

it doesn't have to "dive", lowering just the front of the car and not the back makes the nose of the car point closer to the ground more then lowering it all the around does, this will cause you to scrape you front bumper more then if you lowered it all around.


to the OP, my car isn't lowered (yet, have springs need to buy shocks) but my factory front springs have sagged so bad that the front end actually sits lower then BMR or Stranos.
