So I snagged a set of rear BMR springs a couple months ago. Been looking for a front set, but haven't had much luck, also money is tight at the moment too.

I've had them sitting in a box and the woman is getting pissed that it hasn't moved in months.

I know swapping the rear springs is easy, especially compared to doing the fronts.
How stupid would it look if I put the BMRs in and left the stock springs in the front (for now/for awhile)?

Reverse rake? haha.

 

yea dont do it.. if shes griping about looking at them just throw them in the hatch till you get fronts.

 

Just put em in the attic lol wait till you can find some fronts

 

this stupid

 

Seems practical for terrible roads and going over speed bumps! lol.
Chad did you drive it like that or what?

 

Looks like you have some fat bitches in tha back.....

 

Or blown rear shocks lol

 

Yea thats how i bought the car drove it home like that....drove fine just looked dumb

 

I'd just put them up in a closet or in the back hatch of the car cause that in no way looks appealing even if it is temporary.

Have you thought about cutting the front springs until you can get the matching front ones? Just a thought though.

 

Cut your fronts. People sell stock springs for next to nothing on here so if you mess it up its not a big deal.

 

Yeah, idk how to cut the fronts though... like how much and where, and with what, lol.
What the... what was the set up as far as springs/shocks when you bought it?

 

stock front, bmr springs and hose mod in the rear...came with hotchkis front springs so i put them on after

 

I drove mine like that for two weeks cause I ran out of time to do the fronts, and did the hose mod so it was pretty low. It looked like the car was taking off from a stand still, pretty cool haha. I say do it, the rear sits way too high.

 

I feel like the front sits higher than the rear on my car and if I put the rear BMRs in it'll just make it look worse. Lol.

 

i would find a place to hide them until u get fronts... it really looks stupid driving around..like a 4th gen gasser...lol

 

I would wait for front springs or research how to cut the stock fronts

 

I'm no suspension expert, over in the suspension part of the forum.
Cutting springs is frowned on...must be a saftey issue.

 

im no expert either but i think it has alot to do with decreasing the life of the stock shocks when you shorten the springs.

p.s. that avatar with the count is good lol

 

Good for taking launch pictures

 

Looks terrible. Don't do it.
