Question about BMR coil over conversion kits

Has anybody tried a lighter springs for this kit. I have the BMR coil over conversion and a-arms but the front end still sits to high with the adjustment all the way down and i would like to drop it at least an inch more in the front.

The kit came with 10" long springs rated at 200 pounds and that is what I have been using for the last couple of years

Re: Question about BMR coil over conversion kits

im using Spohns kit, with a 12" spring rated at 325 lbs, i have the car sitting at a good height, and im still at the middle of the adjuster.

If you lowers your spring rate, you will probably start to have a very bouncy front end and may even bottom out the springs and start warping the fenders

have a pic of you car form the side?
