Default Lowered & new rims, pics
So I finally did some appearance mods to my car. I lowered it with BMR springs and Koni shocks on the lowest perch and got some deep dish Y2K wheels for it. The wheels are 18x10.5 w/ a 56mm backspacing and 305/35/18 Nitto RII's on all 4 corners. I also removed the molding from the sides of the doors. fenders and quarter panels. I did most of this a few weeks ago, but I just wanted to show my western brethren my progress. Thanks go out to Fifedogg for helping me lower it and remove the moldings this weekend

Looks pimp!

What made you go with the BMR springs instead of the Stranos?

Get to it! The install is easy. But you might want to figure out what youre going to do about the rears.. See my thread in the suspension section. And with your vert, it will be even worse.

You have a set of regular y2ks? Id be interested to see how they match up...

Thanks man, I chose the BMR's over the Strano's for four reasons, #1 was availability, #2 was the fact that the BMR's have a stiffer rear spring rate. I wanted this for my sub being in the rear and my car being dynamatted and having every weight gaining option possible... #3 price and #4, Strano is a ***** to talk to and the BMR springs share 95% in comon with his. (lol)
