Amazing ride and feel. I did mine with the Koni's and the handling aspect was night and day as well as the ride height.

I have the BMR's and Konis and love it.

Here's some comparison pictures since I actually have eibach springs on my blue one I just bought

Silver car has BMR springs with Koni SA shocks. Front Konis are on lower perch and rear has the HH mod. Blue car is Eibach brings with KTB AGX shocks.

Our springs offer a 1.25" drop compared to the stock springs. Now with the Eibach springs it gets a little tricky because they have a sagging issue which means your Eibach springs could be potentially sitting much lower than they are supposed to be. You will have a much improved ride quality and feel with our BMR lowering springs versus the Eibach springs and the handling will improve also. What kind of shocks do you have on the car?

Bilstien's with the BMR's here, and love the ride and the stance is great. Absolute night and day difference from stock to this combo. The Koni's are probably even better.

You will definitely see better handling and performance with the Koni shocks versus the Bilsteins but if you are not looking to go all out with handling then the Bilsteins are a very good option. For me it is really hard to beat the affordability and performance of the BMR/Bilsteins setup unless you are really going to be racing or looking to get the best handling out of the car.

For the record, Eibach springs aren't the only ones that can sag, my factory front springs where so bad I only dropped maybe 1/8-1/4" on the front spring change out.

here are before and after pics of the rears being swapped out to BMR's, it really gives you an idea how bad the front springs where.

I heard using the lower perch on the Koni shock is not recommended and can actually damage the shock. Is this true? It's essentially just decreasing travel right...

With some springs, they tend to sag over time and over work or bottom out the shock. Our springs are garunteed for life against sag and should pose no issues with using the lower perch. We have many customers who use that position actually, and should pose no danger to the shock
