I have never seen a (other than springs) stock suspension f-body with bmr springs that sat up higher in the front than in the rear. If anything the fronts will settle more than the rear due to the weight of the motor.

double checked the measurements and got maybe 1/16 lower on both sides, hopefully they are just slowly settling. i have driven roughly 400 miles on them so far

Put my rears on last week and just got around to the fronts yesterday. BMRs and Bilsteins... The front definitely looks higher than the rear. I measured to the apex of the wheel well in the front and it's sitting at 27" even on both sides. I didn't mearsure the rears because they definitely dropped. I'll see where they are sitting tonight when I get home. Any possible explanations?

This seems to be an issue with a lot of people right now. My kyb agx and stranos are all at 26.5" except the rear passenger side, which is at 25.5... It sucks and I wish I could figure out why.
