Overall happy with the results. Went with 19x9.5 drifts with RE-11s. Was originally going to go with GF9S but couldn't beat the price. I'm on BMR springs and think I want to go lower. Although my car has been on jack stands for a week I'm not sure if they will settle lower.

Looks good. I went the exact same setup, except used 275/35-19s.

Best I can tell by looking at your pics it should settle a bit more. Almost looks like stock springs on your car to me. I have the bmr performance springs and there is very little gap in the front

I was going through the same thing with the GF9 but ended up with the drifts because of value. I have 275/40 RS3-A's all around. You're car looks great with the dark stainless.

Looks good. I think 285/35/19 is a nice choice in tire size, especially in terms of looks. Just the right amount of sidewall and width.

I'm sure it may settle a little but you decreased tire size diameter a good bit so it's not going to look as lowered.

Looks nice! How much of a performance difference can you feel?

Haven't driven much but feels more confident and stable in corners. Rides smoother, tracks a little but I'm used to it from my ZO6.

Looking at pictures of my stock wheels/spacers with the BMR springs I don't think it will lower anymore. I may switch to sportlines

Nice setup!
I understand the back being shorter, but 255/40r19 should be same rolling diameter as 285/35r19...was that difference with going from one manufacturer to another?

the GTPP cars run a 255/40 up front and a 275/40 out back, so i can only assume they mean tire manufacturing variances.
