Hey, Mizeree, are B & G good or are you just screwing around?

I can get them cheaper than Eibachs, but I want to know if they are cheaper than Eibachs. You know what I am saying, yo?

B&G is a respected european suspension company. They are progressive, with a moderate drop. I've heard nothing but good things about them. I have not tried them personally, but would like to. Want to buy my eibachs? I'll give ya a good price.

I can get B & G ones cheap (About $180/set), but I don't know anyone that has them on a 3rd gen. I think the drop is a bit more than Eibachs, like 1.5"

I also am interested in your Eibachs, but I have to finish paying the labor costs on my JDM swap.

send me a PM when you get chance.

how much are you willing to spend?

if you don't have struts yet... get struts. i have kyb's and they are fine. get koni's if you want to get fancy =)

here is my list of suspension mods in the the order of performance increase imo:
1-springs & struts
2-subframe connectors (highly recommended)
3-rear sway bar, addco
4-front strut tower brace, obx
5-front sway bar, ST (i installed these a while ago and am still debating if i want to keep them... there is an improvement quick turns (ie slalom) but the understeer is a bytch)

I think you're right...on Eibachs site, it said they used CNC machines to wind the springs or something, and it also said that on B+G's site. I didn't see that anywhere on H+R's site. Maybe there's no relation at all, maybe Eibach makes H+R, but from what I saw, I think Eibach makes B+G. I prolly sound like a dumbass because I have no idea what the machines are and what goes into making a spring, but that's my guess.

well, I don't know if it makes a difference to you, but the Eibachs are listed at 1.2" drop (both front and back) and the B&G are 1.5" drop. Obviously, something isn't exactly the same.
