Default Need lowering spring pictures

Dad is getting me springs for x-mas(what a great guy eh?) and I was originally thinking pro kit, and possibly sportlines, but someone said the BMR kit was good too. I would like to see pics of ANY brand of spring, BMR Eibach w/e, and state the amount they lower the car. I want a lil raise to the rear with a lower front. Any pics with lowered cars to compare would be great. I did a search and found alot of prokits, but not many BMR or other brands. Thanks all, hope its not to much of a repost


maybe this needs to be in suspension now that I think about it, if it needs to get moved someone please do....

Here you go man. It's o.k. we have all reposted at some point. I would suggest getting shocks and struts as well. I could kick my butt for not doing it. Sam Stano is the suspension GURU here and also a Sponsor. Give his tech line a call.

I can certainly vouch for the BMR's

The 1" BMR springs give you a nice mild drop yet still allow you to get in and out of driveways without scraping your air dam cover

Be sure and get some good shocks to go with those springs because they're a little on the stiff side.

Here are the intrax springs. Might as well bring er' down all the way if you're going to lower it.

NO way, I found your car in some post awhile back, one of those "post if you have the baddest LS1" or someting in those terms, you get the idea... I love that stance! I was pissed I didnt take ur name down for future choice of springs, although I was affraid of scraping there? Where you get those?


Again, more pictures and opinions/experiences are welcome. Right now I am not planning shocks, but if I REALLY get persuaded, I might. I was looking for the old school look, lower in the front that in the rear. I have the old school lope, might as well the stance too. The reason shocks are pushed back on the list......I think I am getting nitrous with the X-mas money

I got them off ebay for $180 shipped. Thanks again. I really need to get some better pics of it. Here in another week the car should be up on GMRs website. Ground Control makes a spring kit with adjustable spring perches. It goes for ~$400. I did my intrax with a new set of oem decarbons for the moment but when I get another $1000 I'm going to do koni sa shocks and GC coilovers.
