Nice bird! Still haven't put my BMR springs on yet, think I will get it done before the summer is over though

Why not just throw some BMR springs on the rear?

Ya know, at first I was thinking "that rear end needs to come down a tad more to close up that wheel gap."

Then I looked at your pic again and that subtle rake gives it a really nice look. You may be onto something here

BTW, I thought the reflection of the parking lot stripe was some sort of new decal I haven't seen yet. Actually doesn't look all too bad LOL

i love it. its got a slight rake but not much, the car ended up droping for 27 1/2 on the front to 25 3/4 and the read went from 27 1/2 to 26 1/2. the car has been driven for 3 days now and i dont think its gonna settle any more here a another pic. i still might cut a little out of the rear

It definitely looks alot better the the factory stance. IMHO I think it could be a little lower in the rear but I think it looks really good.

Looking good! We're getting a lot more customers who are buying just the front springs, so I think this idea is catching on. It's certainly a budget mod that delivers great looks!

Just ordered mine! ..... It's all my budget would allow, lol. Ported throttle body and saving for 17x11s Took the rest of my mod money. Maybe I'll cut the rear for a little bit, then order the rear bmrs after I get wheels.

I see an increase in the price of front springs on the horizon!!

Actually, it's good to see you offer them separate. Some folks make you buy all four.
