Hey BMR... What's the verdict on the 1" springs?

Why yes I did as a matter of fact and thanks for asking.
Still waiting to hear back after a conversation earlier. I left a message... don't feel I need to pester the crap out of them on the phone. Been a long tough road on this BMR swap for me. Won't go into it much but will not go down the spring road again. I MAY try some of their other stuff but with caution.

Who me? If me then no I don't have that info. I put in Strano springs and never really cared about doing measurement comparisons. I was just wondering if you left in the isolaters, and you said you did so that answered my question.

i dont care about the measurements either. the car sits perfect for me now, the fender gap was terrible in the rear like yours. check out my new thread in this section and look at the pics.

I got a call and think we figured some of it out. They might change ratings to 1.25" drop for the rears. Seems things vary from car to car and even shocks can make a difference. So it was suggested I throw the hoses on these and see if that does it for me. At any rate the springs are great I just didn't get 1" which would have put me perfect (to me).

essentially my rear sat WAY higher than the front, so in essence dropping 1" front and 1.25" rear WOULD put it perfectly level, but thats just not the case. 1" all around works.

No I understood what he was saying. No panhard bar. The shocks can the way he explained it. If you push up and down on the rear it may sit different one time than the next in the rear. The shocks don't release to the same point everytime which is why even I got a slightly different measurement today.

While the shocks may take some time to "settle", I don't see them making a .5" difference, or even close to that.
