B+G springs for Gen 6

For the past 2 weeks I've been working with B+G Suspension. They're goal is a moderate drop while keeping the ride comfortable and still having it ride like a Camry.

Mike of B+G is debating whether the front should go lower. The only problem is that if the front goes lower, the stance will be raked, which is not what they want. Also, lowering the front even more would probably start kissing driveways and tall speed bumps. front has about 2.5 fingers
gap and rear has about 1 finger gap.

Let me know what you guys think.

The drop is the same as Eibach and TRD drop( or close to it). i think B+G should go a different drop than other brands. i would say go lower in the front, but its my taste i rather have look over comfortable. Over all i think its a nice drop and stay in the comfor zone

The back end looks like it's sagging a bit. They should make it even all around 1 finger gap on the front just like the rear.

But still looks alright

to me it looks like stock height lol. 0 finger FTW! all jokes aside it is a nice drop but i would lower the front more like some other said. maybe go like 1.5 finger gap front. as soon as u load the back a bit it will look like the back springs are shot/sagging. it is atleast a even drop unlike the trds/eibach.

Looks great. Though I agree, that it isn't much different than my TRDs (a bit lower in the back and a bit lower in the front).

If you want the whole ride height to go lower, then why not get some 18" wheels at 35 or 40 tires?

we were thinking about making the wheel gap even all around but lowering the front more will give it a raked look, which is not what they are looking for.

it's a big improvement from stock height. stock height was 5+ finger gap, so nasty LOL

Really doesn't look too bad.

Maybe lower the front to 2 finger gap instead of 2.5? Or even 1.75 fingers gap. I think it wouldn't be really noticable unless you bring out a ruler.
