Default BMR Spring Owners Inside...

Can you BMR lowering spring guys do me a favor. Please park on some level ground, take a tape measure, and measure the distance from the ground to the fender lip at the top? My Pro Kit is sitting a little lower than I need it to and I might go with BMR front springs and stock rear springs with the rubber isolater removed. Just wondering what kind of stance I'd be looking at. Thanks.

Will do I'll let you know. I think stockers in the rear may be too high even after doing the hose mod. But I guess it depends on the look you want

I'll post up later

Well the other option is just biting the bullet and going with the SLP/Eibach springs. I really dont like how the BMR springs ride in the rear so that isn't even an option to use them.

I have BMRs and don't really care for them too much. You might look into the Hotchkis springs.

P.S. This would probably be best in the suspension section.

Already got a question in the suspension section. Just wanting pics and measurements of cars lowered with the BMR springs. Thinking the SLP Eibachs might be a better option for me though.

It's been a while since I've measured, but I think it's ~ 26.5" all around.
