Does anyone have pictures of the BMR SP763 “min drop” springs on a vert? I have the Steeda shocks on order and trying to decide what springs to pair them with. My car is not a Perf Pack. I’m between the Steeda min drop and the SP763. Help!?
Visually they are going to be really close. The Steeda's might provide a little less drop in the front based on the specs.

The spring rates on the Steeda's are a little higher as well particularly in the front. This isn't to say they are stiff springs, but the BMR's are only a hair stiffer than stock PP units.

I got some before and after pics, it's now settled & aligned , it got a little bit lower then 7/8" up front and 3/4" in the back. The gap on your rear end will be a little more then mine since i'm running 275 in the back ( PP )

I fitted my Ford Performance Street X springs over the weekend. Really impressed with the look and how well it rides and handles.

Mine is a performance pack, so already has slightly heavier dampers, but they really compliment these springs.

Apologies for the cell phone shot, it's all I have at the moment.

Just an update. I got my BMR miminal drop springs installed. Love the stance (got rid of the slight reverse rake) and handling. Only problem is that I have a really bad squeak coming from the rear passenger side bushing. The performance shop did not have a drive on lift to properly release and re-torque everything, so I am taking it to another shop that has a drive on lift so they can have full weight on all 4 tires and reset/torque all of the springs. I spoke with Kelly from BMR at the AM car show and that was his suggestion...Hoping this resolves it.

Post some pics! I’m installing mine Friday along with some Steeda shocks.

BMR springs installed with Steeda shocks/struts. The front is not higher than the back but for some reason it looks that way. I haven’t had the bushings clocked or the alignment yet, that’s scheduled for tomorrow 8am. Would wheel spacers help this optical illusion?

I am contemplating spacers on mine... although I may just go to a wider tire first. The springs will settle a bit and clocking them will help with that process..
