i've been watching the reviews of the BMRs for a while.
i'm with you...don't want alot of drop, but want stiffer springs.
the general concensus is that the rears are a bit too stiff...but other than that everyone seems to be happy with the drop.
something to consider. BMR makes spacers you can put under your front shock/springs that raise them. i think they are 1/2" spacers....so you could put 1.25" drop springs on, add the spacers and get a .75" drop in the end.
then just use some larger spring isolators for the rear to get the same increase.
i'm thinking of trying this.

I had the Strano springs and didn't like the rear, 150LB too soft. The BMR's are about the same drop but I like the 170LB rate at the rear a lot better Don't bottom out as much and don't squat as much when I'm on it hard coming out of a turn. Mine seems to sit a bit higher than others? Never had any problem scraping my headers or Y-pipe, here is a pic, these are the 1" springs. Also I have a 3/8 spacer under the front Koni's I like the balance a bit better so that is why it looks a bit front up.
