Good info, any idea how much difference there is? I considered the 1" drop BMR springs, but didn't want to take a chance on it not getting me where I wanted to be (which they likely wouldn't have considering the 2" drop springs only lowered the rear ~1/2" thus far). I was leary of this as I used 1.5" drop springs on my Monte several years ago and it didn't drop at all (although the springs that were in the car had surely sagged somewhat). The other issue was the car not sitting level from side to side, which was the main reason for deciding to go with air bags.
