Lowered the car. Now against bumpstops.
I have an 87 IROC 305 TPI and I installed BMR 1.25" drop front springs along with Koni yellow struts. When I lowered it off the jackstands under its own weight, the car dropped all the way to the bumpstops. I made sure the spring was clocked correctly with having one of the bottom holes covered and one left open. Is there something I missed that I need to do because it's undrivable in its current state of lowness. Thanks!

When I put the lowering springs in my car, I cut my bump stops in half
You can also buy shorter bump stops, so there is that option.
You can drive it as is, it will just be really firm

Re: Lowered the car. Now against bumpstops.
That is what I told BMR, but they are insisting they are not. It is almost like they put the part number for the V8 springs on the V6 springs.
