How do you like your B&G springs?

I am looking for opionions of people who own B&G springs or have owned them. Im just wondering how the ride is, and about the drop. If you have any pics then that would be great. I really cant decide on the springs. I was going to get Intrax, but they sag in the rear and I like the stance when the front is a bit lower then the rear. Any opionions / comments are welcome.

BTW- Id run these with 18in rims and KYB-AGX shocks.

I have B&G's with AGX and stock 16" SE rims. I love the look, and the handling. The ride is kindof rough sometimes, especially with more than 2 people in the car, but it's still not too bad.

My AGX are set at 2/4. If you plan to autocross then these springs are a HUGE improvement over stock. Do a search, I believe Lime had H&R's and switched to B&G's and she seems happier.

Im really leaning toward them, Im sure that there might have been some threads like this but you cant type B&G in the search. All comments welcome

B&G's are great springs but the ride can get rough sometimes and the setup can be pretty noise at times (clunks, crunches, etc). There are some pics in mh sig and check out my homepage.

ive had B&Gs for about 6 months now...AGX set to 2/4...great spring in my opinion...a little rough at times, especially on NYC roads but i got used to it, first time i got in after the drop i HATED it but u grow to it and once u cut thru corners and lane changes u'll love em...it can be a bit lower in the front tho...its 1.6 inch drop both F/R, and if u have a 5 spd(lighter than auto in front), or if u have a system in yur trunk, the weight fluctuations can cause the rear to sag a slight bit..but its barely noticeable..i would recommend these springs to anyone

If you have noises I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Nissan OEM spring isolators. I tried the helix spiral wrap, but it's not nearly as thick as the OEM isolators.

When I changed my suspension, I replaced all the stock bushings/parts and it cost about an extra $100+ but it was well worth the price.

So who made the mistake? B&G or shox?

PS - Your car looks bling bling with that drop.
Drop it like it's hot ...
