I have 17x11 wheels back there with bmr springs. for what ever reason one side sits lower than the other. I have the isolators in but I think im going to have to do a hose mod for passenger side cause it rubs pretty bad when I hit a bump.
mabe its just my car !!! IDK

Hello, if you don't use them your drop will be an additional 3/4". I would invest in the isolators.

You may like the rake and the ride quality with the BMR
springs on the front, but keeping hose-mod stock springs
in the rear. I found the Hotchkiss rears a bit harsh for
my liking as well as too drag-*** looking (despite an
even, as-advertised -1" all around, by the tape).

Since the rears are a simple driveway job, give it a try
with just the fronts swapped first and see.
