Bmr spring regrets

[Fallenares]

I have 20x10/20x11 Project 6GR wheels, and am planning to get the (front) minimal drop springs as well. For what it's worth, I have 315/35/20 on my rears and 275/35/20 on the fronts and I feel like the fronts are about 1/2" too high. The rear wheel wells are filled out nicely with a beefier rear tire.

Could you post a picture of the rear. Really interested in how it will look.

The drop with these springs are perfect. Front and rear.

I have the sp083 springs and the drop is just a little too low for me. I still have them and will probably continue with them because I love the way the car feels now but that is my only negative. A lot of my buddies have commented on how low my car is and ask if I hit the bumper all the time. I have to absolutely crawl over speed bumps or I scrape. All parking lot entrances have to be taken at angles or I scrape. The irony is not lost on me that I have made many modifications to make my car feel better at high speeds but those same mods force me into very low speeds in many places where the stock height flew over. I am thinking about the spacers Steeda makes to give a bit more clearance. I can't imagine a daily driver any lower than my car keeping its bumper very long. Perhaps the sp083 is your answer for a bigger drop. The stance does look good.

Here is a photo of the wheels on a stock suspension. If it looks like this the rear is really close to where i would want it. I guess what I want is minimal gap but still drivable. Like WestTx stated, I would not like to scrape everywhere. What do y'all think?

Look at the BMR Stance thread. Look at my post on page 90, #1339. I am running 315/35-20 tires too. LOVE the way they look with the SP080 wheels.

EDIT: Better pic

Personally I think they're perfect. Ive lowered cars more aggressively in the past and it turned out to be a headache. Maybe in the future when I go full race car I'll upgrade to a set of coils but for now they are great.

Here are a couple shots of them with my old 305's:

The lack of drop is more evident for us guys with 19s. Guys with 20s will have less wheel well gap but more air getting underneath car due to it being higher above the ground with 20s.

I do wish the rear lowering was set at 1" but I have no regrets what so ever going with the BMR's

I wish I would have got sportlines over my Steeda progressives. The Steeda's are great but I want to be a little lower.

I think performance-wise you can't go wrong with any of the options out there. They are perform pretty well. Asthetics and stances varies between brands.

Look really good. I think I'm just going to give bmr a try. Thanks guys for all of your input.

If you like a raked stance, the BMR's will be perfect.

Imo, it is the perfect raked stance with the performance springs. Absolutely love my springs

Here are some pics of mine on BMR SP080 springs with the same wheel set up you're looking at. No rubbing, no regrets!

We have the extremes available - 2" in the front & back:
