Im planning on running the BMR springs also so this thread had me hella scared at first, but im glad to hear the 9'' is more than likely the culprit for your miniature redneck rake. Either way the car still looks MUCH better OP, are you still on stock springs?

TECH do all aftermarket rear ends(MWC, S60, 12 bolt, etc) raise the stance in the rear or is it just the Moser 9"?
No i just installed BMR springs, but i am on stock shocks for now. Got a qoute from Sam on some bilsteins so hopefully soon on those

Yes, bigger axles raise the car... but comparing diameters it should be on the order of 1/4" or so unless the spring perches are hugely thick.
Yep ... an S60 here with the "hose mod" and it sits right where it was before installing the S60 ... a 1/4" higher above the axle as compared to the 10-bolt and 1/4" lower after the "hose mod".

Make sure your torque arm isn't hitting the transmission tunnel. It might be necessary to clearance the tunnel with hammer.

I just ordered the yellow Koni's and BMR 1.25" drop springs for my car. I too have a Moser 9" I didn't know that the rear end would sit a little higher because of it having the 9". I'll do the hose mod when I install the rear springs and see how it looks.
