Some say it is the closest to stock ride there is.

The H&R's are a little harsher than stock, but enough to jar your kidneys and make you regret buying them. They are amazing when you really scream into a corner. My Dad has driven my car a few times and never new it was lowered and had no complaints about the ride at all. He couldn't believe it when I told him I changed the springs.

B+G's are lower, 1.6 vs 1.3 drop for H&R's. I have installed the B+G's, and while the ride is stiffer, its far from harsh. The steering is much tighter now, and there is virtually no body roll during fast corners..

Others on this board have said B+G's are comparable to H&R's ride quality, but I have no personal experience with this.

b&g is definitely cheaper and thats a good thing. but h&r has more good thigns said about it. then again B&R has good things said about it too and is a lil better drop.
SO HARD TO DECIDE!

the only reason i am thinking about going with h&r over b&g is that many memebers have reported sagging in the rear.

If B&G's ride is as good as H&R, then the added drop is definitely a good thing. H&R will make you look like what stock should have looked like...kind of like the '02 Altima. Not bad but a lil' lower would be better lookin'. I don't think you can go wrong with either as long as the consistency of the drop on both sides is as good for B&G as it has been for H&R.

I wouldn't trade my H&Rs for any other springs. No need for my car to sit lower because I live in a pot hole city.

b+g's DON'T look the same height front and back.. its not that noticeable but if you look closely u will know.. this can be fixed by either spring isolators or cutting a coil off the fronts..
