Hi Guys

With sports gear in the trunk and some car audio gear the rear of my car sit's perfect I would not like it any lower at all with my wheel and tire set up. The front has a gap I would like to close a little if I could. I would like to keep as close to a stock smooth ride if I can.

Is it best just to

A. Leave it as it is?
B. Front Coil overs?
C. Front Springs? Brand?

I would love to hear what you guys think any why.

Thanks.

You can call Steeda and they'll sell you their front minimum drop springs which will even out that wheel gap real nice. Done.

BMR has a minimum drop spring as well, IIRC its within 5# of the stock spring.

Our accountant here at BMR has been using our SP089 front springs for about two years now on her daily driver 2015 GTPP car, and she loves it.

Part # is SP089 - we ship thousands of them. Keep an eye out starting tomorrow evening...you can pick them up for $101 shipped with our sale that's about to kick off.

Worth a shot! Can always add the SP082 rear springs to the car down the road if you do not like the front only set up.

Enjoy!

;)

Hard to tell in the photos, but is there a slight rake with the stock rear coupled with the minimum drop front springs? Would adding the min drop rear spring make the stance squared?

Not sure which photo you are speaking to, mine or SVT-Daddy's, but I have BMR 082/089 set up, which is about 1/2" drop in rear and 7/8" in front. I have a little extra weight up front front now with the add on of a SC, but not sure if that changed the stance. Seems every photo I take it is a bit different..

Slight rake, yes. If you did min drop all the way around it should sit level.

You can see better is this pic.

Sounds like the BMR SP089 front springs maybe the way to go. How much will they lower the front? From looking at the photos of the car do you think that would give it a good look?

Happy to help with the Steeda springs if this is the route you are looking to go -we have them on several of our test fleet cars, they are a great choice!

I think there's a joke in there about to much junk in your trunk

7/8" is the drop amount.

I know you are set on lowering the front only, but I really believe you should check out our new spring kit, SP763.

https://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=1880&superpro=0

This is going to be 7/8" front and 1/2" rear.

This kit (SP763) is EXTREMELY popular, and again, starting tomorrow night this full set would only be about $195 shipped to your door with our special we are about to announce. :cheers:

Here is the thing. I like the stock ride. The rear is dropped with the audio gear in the trunk and Sports gear Shot Puts/Discus/Hammers maybe about 300-350lbs :-) So I think any more would rubber for me.

That's why I was asking if it's worth doing just the front?

Would the BMR SP089 fronts be a good ride match with the Stock Rears? That are both progressive springs right?
