Default post pics of your Camaro w/ BMR or Hotchkis springs plz

i only found some pics of cars with hotchkis springs, but never saw a car from a good angle with BMR springs, i already did a search...
so please post pics of your Camaros with hotchkis or BMR springs,
i had Hypercoils for almost 8 months with no problems until i got my Pacesetter long tubes with ORY, it scraped a lot, so i switched to stock springs (4X4), i was thinking of droping no more than an inch,
eaither post or email pics to abdulla2255@hotmail.com
thanks,

personally, i don't think 1" is low enough. most people won't know it's dropped. if you were going to lower it only 1", i think the better alternative would be to spend your money elsewhere.

Here's afew with the Hotchkis springs, they give the car the perfect stance. A 1" drop is perfect for these cars anything lower than that looks ghetto.

I loved my Hotchkis Springs and they were not only low enough but provided a nice "rake" and didnt kill the ride..

Heres mine with Hotchkis springs...


I did some research also when I was deciding on springs. I have LT's also and was concerned as you are. You will not be dissapointed with the kis.

The Hotchkiss springs are perfect IMO. I don't like cars too low, all the above cars look like they have the perfect stance too me. Better alternative than BMR, and in just a tad higher than DMS and the hypercoils.

definetely not higher than the pro-kit. the pro-kit isn't that low. it looks about even with the sportlines, although the sportlines are a little bit saggier in the rear. yours look real good, best hotchkis i've ever seen.
