Default 1" drop opinions/lca brackets

I want to lower it only 1". I thought about ordering the Slp/eibachs. What other 1" drop options are out there? I have a spohn chassis mounted torque arm with the longtube brace so I don't want to go too low. The brace scrapes now on these crappy entrances to places in CA (I hate this damn central valley), I think my 12 yr. old stock springs are a little shot. I'm running Bilstein shocks, I don't know if they are the HDs or not, I snagged them off ebay a year ago or so.

I love to corner, but I also drag race alot, how large of a difference does LCA relocation brackets make? I haven't been out to the strip yet, but something tells me my 60ft. sucks even now, even with the whole spohn rear suspension.

We offer a set of 1" lowering springs as ws6sojuiced01 stated above. They give you 1" of lowering and also retain the OE ride quality. You would most likely want to get a set of relocation brackets when you lower it. You want the control arms to be at an upward angle. If you have any more questions, give me a call and I can help you out.

Jason forgot to mention that we do offer a bolt on relocation bracket for your particular application http://www.bmrfabrication.com/cabrackets/cab2-full.jpg. these are a very easy install (no welding required) and have yielded excellent results.

Thanks guys, I'll call in a few weeks once things around here get settled. Does either brand work better with the Bilsteins? I'm pretty sure they are HDs.

I've got BMR springs and their bolt in LCA brackets. I really like the springs and how the car rids.

I have Hotchkis and BMR bolt in brackets. My Hotchkis spring settled to just a hair over 1" drop.
