Ordering my bmrs probably next week. Gonna do this exact setup. Bmrs front hose mod rear. Ill see how it sits before i start cutting cause wanna be able to fit decent size tires someday. If need to cut a coil out where do you cut. Anyone have a idea so i dont screw them up lol?

I did something very similar. Originally, I lowered the car with KYB AGX and Hotchkis up front and KYB AGX and hose mod on stock springs in the rear. Here's what it looked like:



I wanted a little lower in the rear, so I cut half a coil in the back. Here's how it turned out...



IMO, MUCH better! I liked the rake, but it was too much.

Hose Mod pic from last night. Simple easy mod to go along with bmrs in front.
Used 5/8inch heater hose roughly 17 inches per spring

Once you get your BMR lowering springs installed post up some pictures if you can. I am always looking for some pictures for our database.
