They should lower your car right around 1.25", now each car is a little different so there is a little varience between cars. Here are a couple after pictures for you.

Bmr 1.25 springs ended up droping the front of my car 1.75 inches, more than I wanted, but it still looks great.

Your car definitely sat high from the start. Your car looks like it is kind of launching just sitting there. Did you mess with the a-arms at all prior to the install of the lowering springs? It almost looks like the a-arms were tightend down with the suspension unloaded in the front.

Cape I really like that stance your car has with the lowering springs on it. Maybe it's the 15" rims in the rear but did you lower the back as well or just the front ?

I agree, it sat abnormaly high to begin with, the front suspension was never modified, I bought the car all stock with 16k miles and all I have done was remove the front sway bar. Either way, the car looks better and handles better. No complaints here.

Definitely unusual. I can say that our BMR lowering springs gave your car an amazing stance and your car is by far one of the nicest I have seen here on LS1tech.

If you could can you e-mail me a couple pictures of the car? I like to keep a nice database of pictures of cars with our parts.

THANKS! And absolutely, I have some great ones of the car, but not after the springs were put on. Im also running your rear on car adjustable chromoly lower control arms btw. When I get some decent pics what e-mail would you like them sent to? You can PM it to me if you prefer.

I think I read you did the heater hose in the rear on another thread.

Congrats on the request for pics from BMR, it really is a great stance your car has.

Sorry I didn't see your post or I would have replied. Yes I have the hose mod only in back with the 275/60/15 Hoosiers.
