Quite low for "minimum" drop springs. On our S650's the BMR Minimum Drop Springs look pretty much exactly as low as the regular BMR SP080 Lowering springs on the S550's.

I really wish the car was just 3/8 - 1/2" lower from the factory and I wouldn't have to bother. No one in the aftermarket is going to make lowering springs with that little of a drop from factory height. Even the J&M minimum drop springs I posted previously in this thread are lower than I would like on our S650's whereas on the S550's they look perfect to me.

Companies not bothering to update their springs for the S650's is really a shame.

Your car looks damn good with the bronze wheels on the dark blue. Do you have any measurements from the floor to the top of the fender cutout so we can get an idea of how much they actually drop the car? Or any other insights, like how the gap between tire and fender compares front to back? Wondering if its worth putting a small spacer on the rear springs to raise the rear slightly to match the front air gap.

I like the ride rides a bit smoother than the 550. I have not measured tbh. Does have a raked look though. I Also haven't scrapped any speed bumps in parking lots so thats a nice thing as Well.

Different angle

I don't mean to be rude, but you're posting photos of some buses. Lowering should be low, without compromise. Otherwise, what's the point? My Mustang was originally lowered even lower. It was about 5 cm from the floor in the front, and about 9 cm in the rear.

Buses? I’m reading this entire thread because I want to reduce body roll and stiffen the ride a bit. I do not wish to lower the car at all, but if that is what gets the job done…. I’m seriously considering the BMR min drop.

Here is what our Minimum Drop Springs look like:

I’m with you man.

I put the Whipple on it and I’m only looking to control the body and wish they made a higher rate linear spring with ZERO drop I’d buy it in a heartbeat

I’ve been on the Steeda Min drops for a couple/few years now with the S650 and I think they are the sweet spot for me, at least. I also don’t mind the linear rates. They stiffin the car up, close the gap just enough and don’t cause me to scrape on everything.

Low riding position primarily means better handling and no roll during turns. I sincerely envy your straight roads, but in Germany we have more curves and turns; for me, it’s more important that I can turn 45 degrees at a speed of 120–160 km/h without risking flying off the road.

I'm a little confused by your reply. My reply is simply to the OP. Where I live, we have a substantially higher amount of tight curves than a large part of the US (Appalachian mountains/ NW SC, SW NC, SE TN). We do have straight interstate highways as well. With that said, road maintenance can become a bear sometimes as some of our roads are pretty rough.

I also just switched from Steeda Sport Progressives to Steeda Minimum Drop springs as part of this years mod phases. The gap is a little more notiable in the back but when I switch back to 20" wheels that will go away.

The handling, for the street, is a great balance between performance and real world application/comfort.
