New Bmr Set up :)
BMRUpper/lower a-arm, adj panhard, adj lca, front/rear swaybar, lowering springs, blistienshocks
This is how it sat with 18s, now it has the stock 17s and sits even nicer!
ill get better pics when i clean it, but took it for the first actual ride today and i must say the handling is amazing. i take turns like no other and the car is actually planted on the ground. A++ BMR, now if only the alignment shop will get the thing 100% right ill be good to go. its a little stiffer than im used to and you feel every bump/crack but i like it. i can actually feel the road
edit: the stance sits really nice, 2fingers front and rear between the tire and the wheel well, and about 2" clearance of my longtubes/y and the ground. so its pretty low but i love it
edit: more pics

I used 5/8 inch hose though, worked like a charm.

Oh thanks, but I wonder if the thread poster had lowered springs already? im wondering if this mod will make it TOO low with lower springs.
I have a rake on mine but my front tires seem to tuck into my front fenders. Wondering if there are spacers to lift the front about 1/4 to 1/2"?? BMR chime in please
Heres a side shot. Leave as is or consider spacer?

Here's the spacer they make...

I don't like the rake, that's why I did the hose mod. Sits level from front to back.

If you are happy with stance in the rear and are worried about ground clearance than I would run our shock spacers (SA002) in the front which will lift the car real close to 1/2". If you would prefer to have the stance of the front you can just do the heater hose mod on the rear springs which should level it out.
The stance of the car looks really good. I really like the raked look which is what this combintaion gives you.
