When to ask for Letters of Rec? Early okay?

Here's my situation. Graduated undergrad June 2014. Taking 2014-2015 off solely for the purpose of studying for the LSAT and taking some time off from school. I will be applying next fall for the 2015-2016 cycle. For the two professors I want to ask for LOR's, I took their classes Spring of 2013 (so about 1.5 years ago).

Since I'm done with classes for the purpose of calculating LSAC GPA, I already submitted all my transcripts to LSAC and already paid for the CAS. Is it good or bad if I ask those professors for LOR's now rather than waiting other 10 months? I would rather ask them now when it has only been 1.5 years since I took their classes whereas if I wait until next summer for LOR's, there's a greater chance of them forgetting me. (I got A's but still, new students every term so they could forget me more lol!).

Opinions? Thanks!
