BMR, Heater hose, Konis, Lower perch. Does the stance look right? The front is about where I'd expect it but the back seems a little high. And slightly more on the driver side.
Have you put any miles on it? Also make sure that the rear springs are seated properly on the chassis of the car.
Also get some actual ride height measurements if you can on all four corners.
I'm trying to remember if took that pic before or after I took a 30 mile drive, not sure. But 40 miles tops since I installed them. Has been just sitting since then, about 3 weeks and it looks the same.
I need to check the springs like you say probably. I know I got the bottom pigtails oriented correctly, but yeah, not sure how the top ended up "settling in" so to speak.
Without measurements (which I will get) does it look high to you?
It rides - AMAZING. Absolutely transformed the car. Stiff but not harsh. Just so tight, really amazing. No more luxury grand touring bullshit ride. I bought the package from you guys awhiiiiile back, so happy I finally got to install it. And you took my phone call when I bought them and answered all of my noob questions, thanks Kyle. BMR FTW.
It does look a little high in the back from the picture but we can verify that with the the measurements when you get them.
I am glad I could help get you squared away and that you are happy with the ride. Now lets figure out what is going on with the ride height in the rear. Once that is done you should be set. More than likely it something simple like the springs not being seated properly on the chassis.
^^ Does it actually get any better than that. You are like a 16th off side to side front and rear. If anyone can noticeably point that out then they deserve to have your foot in their ***,,,, and not the way they would probably like lol**
agreed that the difference is minimal but it doesn't look that way or feel that way when doing a finger test. Got the *** in the air before I went on vacation, while I was doing so I noticed that the back wheels weren't sitting the same front to back. Adjustable LCAs. Will fiddle with next week.

4th gens are famous for there lean. the drivers rear is usally as much as 1/2" higher than the passenger rear.
i recently switched from Eibachs to BMRs and its quite noticable now. i even made sure both pig tails pointed forward. i may end up cutting half a coil or so on drivers rear.
^^^^ Same thought last night. Tank is almost empty.
LF - 25 7/8
RF - 25 3/8
LR - 26 5/8
RR - 26 1/2
With our BMR springs and using the Koni lower perch the front should sit right around 25 1/2" give or take an 1/8" so the left front is sitting a little higher than we normally see but it may settle down a little more. The rears generally run right around 26 1/4" give or take 1/8" with the heater hose mod but your numbers may be a little skewed with fact that you had very little gas in the car.
How many mile do you guess that you currently have the BMR lowering springs?

We run into this quite a bit also. It is very often that we see a 4th gen F-Body sit equal side to side on the front and rear.
^^^^^I probably have about 40 miles on them, maybe a little less. What is the settling mileage window?
The car is still jacked up as of right now. I sprayed some wd-40 on the heaer hose in the back hoping that when I let it down it will help the springs nestle and sit where they should. OK to do so or am I stupid?

I would go ahead and put some more miles on the car and take another measurement. It will probably settle a little more so I would give it a little time.
The WD-40 honestly won't do much of anything, the biggest thing is to just make sure that the spring is located up in the spring pocket properly.
