Default LQ4 motor and BMR lowing springs

I just installed my new lq4 motor with hooker LTs now I already had BMRs lowering springs on my car well when i talked to BMR before i put the motor in they said i would be fine it shouldnt lower the front in a 1/4 of an inch or at all. Well they were wrong i mover done a 1/2 an inch or maybe a lil more than that.

Now my question is does anyone know where i can get new springs that will hold up the lil extra weight of the lq4 motor they can be lowered or stock size springs it really doesnt matter to me at this point.

In my past experiences the front only dropped 1/4 max....

The car is just a iron block that's it? no blower etc.?

I was looking back at customer cars and I do not have a real clear picture to show the same comparison.

If the car has stock size tires on it the ground to center of the front fender measurement should be right around 26 1/16" this measurement is with the aluminum motor.

Hey lee I bought the lowering springs from bmr fabrication will the Spring cup and/or Shock spacer help me out at all. It says it will raise up your car 1/2 inch with the shock spacer
