it was easy, but i had a problem, the front struts were rusted to hell, so i couldnt seperate the struts from the rest of the suspension, had to cut them off.
but other than that it was pretty easy, and the back was cake!
OK well, the back is 27" and the front is 26.25" those are the final measurements.
do you have some from your car as well?
That's great thanks.
Mine are RR 27 1/4 LR 27 1/2
RF 26 1/2 LF 26 5/8
I had to shim them to get the height I wanted with a little bit of a rake to front so when I go for replacements this winter I was hoping to get something with the same (or nearly) height.

pretty stiff, little bounce, but overall a good ride. havent rode in another lowered f-body so i couldnt tell you how it would compare. but a lot stiffer than stock.

I always heard lowered F-Bodies ride like shit. I really want to lower my car but I don't want it to be a hard, bouncy ride from hell. I rode in an SRT-4 Neon with Eibach lowering springs and every bump we went over the car felt like it was going to snap in half. Ride was HARD and I do not want that.

Same here. I will be installing my Konis this weekend and been debating going with the stock springs or getting lowering springs from BMR or Strano.

If you decide to go with ours give me a call. Don't forget our springs are guaranteed for life against spring sag. We have them in stock and we can ship them out same day if ordered by 3pm est. If you have any questions please give me a call.
I like the stance of the car as well, Would it be dumb to lower just the front??? I really don't think that the back looks bad how it is but the front always has a hell of a gap between the tire and fender. I swapped out my rear shocks with some bilsteins because mine where shot and making all kinds of noises over ever bump but didn't swap the front shocks or any springs. I would like to run 26.5 tall tires in the back and some skinnies up front so i would like to keep the back as is but yet install some new springs all the way around lowering the front an 1 and half inch to take that gap out. How would this affect the ride. I have all adjustable BMR suspension so would I have to adjust for this type setup?
