IMO, a stance doesn't get any better than this car right here. This is our employee, Colt's WS6. It's sitting on Koni shocks with our 1.25-inch lowering springs and the rear heater hose mod.







We offer some impressive packages and can work with customers on pricing out a shock/spring combo in their budget. Our springs also come with a lifetime warranty against any spring sag or defects, so there is long-term comfort in ownership. BMR springs have been proven as a comfortable and capable option for daily driving, road course use, and even drag strip duties. If you have questions about our American-made springs, feel free to PM me or give us a call at the shop.

- Kevin

This is a picture of my old Z28 with TT2's on it. 315's in the back and it was on a Eibach Pro Kit and Bilsteins. I sold the car about four years ago (Date on the camera is wrong). I'm currently running the same wheel combo on my SS but with BMR's springs and Koni's. Had to roll the fenders on both rides but other than that, no issues. I'm deployed and I don't have any pictures of my SS but here's the one of the Z28. Hope it helps in some way.

IMO, the only reason you say you like BMR so much is because you work for them...

That car does look good, but performance-wise I felt better handling with the Stranos.

I'm seeing a lot of people real confident that you don't need any bit of fender modification. I believe it's less likely you will need to do anything with the TT2's due to their better offset and slightly smaller width. Though our cars all have different tollerances. I would just say don't be suprised if you might need to do a little modification. At least it's nothing you can't at least try at first and then work on later if you find rubbing.
