Dude don't think twice; get Stranos. I don't know anything about BMR but Stranos are not just a lowering spring. They are a performance spring and you notice a HUGE difference on your first drive after installation. Installation took me and a buddy about 5 hours with shocks and springs taking our time.

KYB adjustable and BMR's also....



Maybe its the angle but in some of the OP pics the rear seems to be a tad lower?

My ride is really good and the plate cover was something I made cuz the freaking cop that hangs out between my house and my work has no sence of humor!! I made it out of plexi and blacked out everything that they didn't have to see. Put some sheet rock tape on it for the first coat to give it some tecture then painted it the same color as my stripes! It really pissed the cop off when he saw it the next time since I kinda pushed the limit on being legal :>)

I was going to say the same thing. The rear looks lower in some pics. Could be the stock wheels hiding under the shade of the fender?

Looks great! How is the ground clearance though? Do you have headers?

Nice looking stance, just adjust the passenger tip slightly and you have perfection

Thanks guys. About the tip, It's on the to-do list. I need to tighten up the entire exhaust system cuz some parts rattle near the cats.

My only critique would be your rear license plate frame, not my flavor but as long as it makes you happy.

Ehh. Can't please everybody. I like it, it's kinda like a spiked collar for a dog. Only on a frame. I don't want to follow the crowd and get one that says "camaro".
