Anyone using BMR's tubular front control arms?

I was considering using either Spohn's or BMR's and have read in some posts here that the Spohn control arm lowered the front by around 1/2" which I can't have. I spoke with someone at BMR and he stated that their piece will not lower the car at all, but Spohn says the same thing. I need some real world users to chime in here, those that have the Spohns and those that have BMR arms and what were the results after you installed them.

Re: Anyone using BMR's tubular front control arms?

When I went through this same decision making progress. It was hard to make a decision. I called Spohn and they said they had modified the A arms because of the complaints of the lowering. So I ended up ordering them. Then I realized that they don't have provisions for a bumpstop, I dunno if BMR does or not.
So I just ended up ordering some bumpstops that fit on the strut.

I haven't installed any of it yet, but I'm hoping very soon.

I also choose the Spohn cause if I decide to do a Tubular K member, the Spohn was cheaper over BMR when you combine the A arms and K member together.

I have a BMR setup, kmember,arms and coilovers. Can't really help right now as the car is still on jackstands and no motor. Hopefully I can get it done and let you know how they are.

Anyone got pics of their car with either of these pieces installed?
