I ordered some B&G Lowering springs
it says 1.6" drop front & rear
just wanted to know are these springs good?
and how will they look when its on? because i dont want much gap between the body and the tires
If anyone has these springs post some pics of your car, or post some pics of 1.6" drops just so i can get an idea
and how much u think it'll be when the springs settle?
I should have the springs on by monday or tuesday but its not 2 late to change my mind so let me know quick !!

I have B&G's on my car and it sits like this with 215-45-17 tires and rims. Perfect in my eyes! little tuck in the rear and no gap up front!

thats right, just make sure your offset on your rims is good or else the 215 tire will hit the sturut tower!

There are knock off Teins that are just a generic brand made to look like Teins, not sure if those are them but I know Tein does not make them for the MX3
