B&G suspension

Anyone dealt with B&G springs? I think that those are the ones I'm gonna go with. i wanted Eibach but I can get these at a way better price. I haven't really heard of B&G though so I was wondering if they're any good.

Thanks,
Boris

I hear they're alright. Just bought some tokico shocks so that'll help too

the B+G springs only lower 1".

If you want really good springs, get the H&R, they are the best money can get. (as long as we are not talking coilovers).

-nope

they lower 1.6" front and rear according to their site. I would go with H&R but it's not worth the extra $ imo. 1.6" drop is pretty much what I was looking for, too.

trust me, it`s worth the extra money.

I actually bought B+G here in Norway (called Lesjøfors, swedish company that owns B+G), and in the papers it said 25mm (less than 1"), and in the book it said 40mm, turns out the book was wrong.
I talked to they guy at the factory that designed them.

Might be a different design in the US, but I wouldnt count on it.

-nope

reeeally. Well maybe I'll shop around a bit more then. I didn't get a chance to buy them today, only bought the tokico shocks. Thanks for the input.

yeah let me know how it works out for ya. I think I'll probably go with the B&G still just cuz of price. Even if it's like 1.4 not 1.6 or something I don't really mind that much.

You should do some before and after measurements maybe?

i was going to anyways..... they look good on this other guys mx3 but the only thing is that its in really bad condition. it sits pretty low for the roads we have here so who knows.... im just waiting for my alignment kits and they should be here monday.... and Boris let me guess your getting them from canadian tire for around 284.99 cdn?

Sounds good. You got a link to that other guy's mx3? I'd be curious to see what it looks like.

I didn't get it from C-tire, I got it from my work (national 4wd) cuz I could get it for cost there

ahh no he doesnt have a link to it... he doesnt have the internet or anything... i can try to get pics of it if i can find a digital camera. i will probably take before and after pics of my car and i could send them to you if youd like after i got it done?

Oh sorry I thought you said he had his car posted on this site for some reason.

Before and after pics of your car would be awesome, I plan on doing the same for my car. I will be working on my suspension on the weekend of may 11th along with my new clutch and flywheel so if you are doing yours before that, I would be curious to see what it turns out like!

You putting shocks in too? If so what kind did you go with?
