Strano front springs and BMR rear springs. Bilstein SLP's and Strano sway bars front and rear. Left the rear spring spacer in place...

I just got my BMR 1.25 lowering springs in the mail, and I'm planning on putting them on this weekend. I've got 17x9.5 wheels. Does anyone know if i'm going to run into any clearance issues on the front or rear?

Strano springs and Koni STR.Ts. Would recommend to anybody. Have some Strano sway bars I can't wait to get on too.

Here's a few. I'll have to get some updated pictures with the new C5 DD 18x10.5 wheels.



Mac lowering springs and bilstein shocks.





After hose mod on stock wheels.

Stock setup:



BMR springs, OEM rear insulators, and Koni 4/4's:




I originally had the heater hose mod on the rear, but wasn't enjoying the front-end sitting higher than the rear-end look, and even with the stock insulators on it when looking at it almost head on but slightly offset it still can give you the impression that the front is higher than the rear. It made me think of a truck with a level kit where it's really not level but the front is jacked up higher than the rear and you're like, "that looks really stupid." Maybe when I get some taller C6Z wheels I'll want to go back to the heater hose mod but not with my current setup.

Right now I feel like Kane on "Menace to Society." It's like, "I've got the dope ride, but I'm sitting on some bull-****." Most of the time when a car is lowered and still rocking stock wheels it looks really stupid and ricey. Hopefully my C56Z wheel fund builds quickly.
