Anyone heard of B&G springs? Shox.com has'em.

It lowers 1.6" front and back. Any one has this installed? Since nobody has any Sprints anywhere, I think I"m gonna go ahead and get this instead.

B&Gs...

They seem like nice European springs, but nobody seems to have them (I don't know why). They are supposed to have the comfort of H&Rs, but again I don't know because almost nobody has them. Well, there's always a first for everything, right?

do it, they drop the max nice and even and alot lower than H&R and Eibachs. My boy Jim has them on his 97 and sits about an 1/2" lower than my h&r setup.

Im gonna be selling my H&R's soon and buying B&Gs for a lower drop

i found out about them at work (town fair tire) when a saw a flyer from the local distributor. i gave them a call to see if they had any springs for my VE. now that she is out of commission (temporarily) i will put some time/money into my VQ. rigtht now i like the B&G or the H&R springs. i'm just waiting for the AGX's to come out, lets hope that they are not to firm a shock.

my brother has skunk 2 coils with agx's and his ride is VERY firm with 2in drop and stock 15in rim.

What do you think?

How do you like these springs? What do you not like about them? They got a great deal at nis-knacks.com going right now. Much cheaper than the other brands.

hey Nine7Max and psyclotran...
The ride is great, i have two other friends that have the springs and the drop is not as low as a honda drop but with the addco RSB, courtsey FSTB & RSTB, it feels like you can take turns like a REAL driver
well if you have anymore questions, go to the parts for sale and richard (owner of nisknacks) has a post and he can anwser more questions.

b +g

with these kinds of springs do u have to get new shocks on them, cuz i dont have the money for it, but i was wondering, i coulda sworn i read somewhere that 95 and up maximas u could adjust the shocks to be more firm, is this true, id rather just drop a lil and tighten up the shocks
coilovers are my fantasy, but money wise i just cant
thanks
and if u can get a set of those for 157.00 please tell me what i have to tell them to get that quote, cuz that is amazing

I think the shipping charges for these springs are $24!

In the end, richard still offers a better deal.

B+G Springs

Per Richard Guys: His e-mail: richard@nis-knacks.com


Please notify the interested parties that they will need to notify me by e-mail as soon as possible. IMPORTANT: The words "maxima.org B+G group deal" should be written in the subject heading or body of their e-mail. Please make sure they list their name and personal e-mail address in the body of their message.

I will forward them instructions directly on how to pay for their order.

The $179 price is valid for money order purchases only. A $6 fee will be added if they choose to pay by credit card, at $185.

Orders will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis. For those choosing to pay by money order, I will hold one set of springs at $179 for 7 days. Payment must be received within that span of time. If payment is not received within 7 days, the springs will be available for others to purchase. Orders transacted by credit card are processed immediately.

During the weekend since I posted the messages on maxima.org a few sets were sold at $190, so I only have a limited amount of sets left as of today: 8 sets for A32/1995-99 Maxima/I30; 2 sets for J30/1989-94 Maxima.

I will accept responses from interested group deal members up to this Friday night, 11:59 PM. I cannot guarantee we will have stock by the aforementioned deadline, however, no one will be turned away if we have stock left. Due to the demand, promptness is very important.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy the Ride,

Richard only has 6 sets left at $179 including shipping. Please respond to him soon. I got this deal with the understanding we could get at least 5 people to buy them.

Re: Wait hold on there is another spring called Dropzone

These are very quality springs, guys! They are used a lot on Audis. They are supposed to be about 1.6 drop and soft like H&R. I have a pair on the way. For $179 including shipping, you can't find a better spring with the same quality name.
