Talking Post Pictures of Your BMR 1" Lower A-Arm Stance!!

Please include which spring used and tire specs too! Trying to get a feel for what it looks like as I'm thinking of switching from Strano/Koni to Stock Springs/BMR 1" Lower A-Arm/Koni's.

Thanks!

Saw his but in his case, he would be considered an outlier. He said himself that something was up with his car which was giving that unusually higher than normal stance.

BMR springs, Konis, BMR 1-inch drop arms, no rear isolators.

We sell them pretty often, actually. Of course the standard A-arms are more common, but the 1-inch lowering arms are very popular for drag racers looking for more travel, street drivers looking to lower their cars on stock springs (rear isolators removed) and road racers looking for the best stance known to man. haha

Thanks for posting Justin, that stance is SICK!!!

Maybe Kevin or Justin can answer this, with a setup with like that, BMR springs, Bilstein/Koni shocks, and BMR lowering A-Arms, for the street application is a Bump Steer kit necessary? I know in a thread, the OP was thinking about running it, but hasn't yet. Just wanted your thoughts.

Totally understandable. I've been trying to collect an inventory of photos with cars using our parts for this very reason. One day, I'll probably be able to just show you several cars with the exact setup you're considering. But, for now, I hope and wait. haha

I would highly recommend it. We are running a Baer kit (from Summit Racing) and the car works very well. That said, we don't street drive the car much, so I couldn't comment on that. But racing wise (which is where you would really notice it) the Killer feels great.

Does installation require removing springs/shocks or just unbolting the shock and stock arms? I need a set of these, the front of my car doesnt even look like it lowered at all after Strano Springs & Koni shocks were installed. Yet the rear dropped like crazy, i hate the look.

We recommend the Baer bumpsteer kit if you're going to be lowering your car with lowering springs and these arms. It will combine for over 2-inches of drop.

2" drop with good handling and ride quality is perfect.

I don't get it. Strano lowering springs (1.2") plus these BMR A-arms (1") should equal around a 2.2" drop. Why does your car not look slammed? My Koni/Strano setup looks more lower yours.

What size tires are you running? Considerable weight dropped from the front?

Heres one of the hole car, when i was home on leave the rear springs were on back order from strano so they werent on the car yet, thats why the rear look like it sits up so high in this picture

but yes to answer your question, car doesnt have ac/ front bumper support is removed, washer fluid resevor is removed, and no front sway bar in these pictures. the fronts are 17X9.5 with a 275 tire up front

ill get some pics soon of it with the rear springs in and how it sits now, im still out of the country but will try and get some better pics for yall
