Once i get My BMR springs in and On, If that doesnt Lower My car Enough For My tastes, I know I can Go to Drop Spindles in the front For another 2" approx without Screwing up the Geometry, Right ?

But what about the back ?

Your right about the dropped spindles. The only way to lower the rear is either cut the springs or get lowering springs but I would personally choose lowering springs.

I went this route.
1.5" lowering springs and 2' BellTech spindles.You will have to get the car an alinement.The front is soo low that I had to cut some metal out of the upper fender so the tire clears.It will put the top of the tires in the fenders slightly.The back is just the 1.5 drop.It has a slight rake look to the car.I havent decided if Im going to cut the bnack springs to level out the car or not.
It is extremly low and you will bottom out on everything you see,but it looks really good.

Yeah, Im Considering Doing the Same. How does the Car handle At that Height? Mine is a Sport coupe, So i dont have the ground effects, So I could Go a little Lower.

Have Any Picutures Either Of You ? Woudl be great if You Did

first u should check the amount of space from
the fender to the top of the tire. I used Bell Tech spindles for a two inch drop and got the front fender gap down to about half an inch. Im adding 17" tires this summer and then the fit should be perfect. As for the rear, i just went for 1 1/2" springs. It
could use some more but with the Trans am
factory ground effects, It would appear that the rake is going in the wrong direction.
