    Anyone know anything about B&G springs.

    Pretty much as the title says Came across these looking for spring options. I know they are from europe and many have not heard of them.

    I have them, the drop is a nice height but they are a little soft for my liking. I would give them a chance if i were you though. I have had them for about a year now and I am pleased overall.

      I'd agree with them being soft, but not too soft. They were much stiffer than the Tokico's I had, but no where near as stiff as my Eibachs. Nice drop also. Given how inexpensive you can find them (I got mine for $189), its a good value.

          They have a couple options if I recall correctly. One was about 1.2 front/1.6 rear. Another was closer to 2".

            I don't think they are from Europe...their contact info is for San Diego the best city in the states. :)

            Eitherway, I have never heard anything good about B&G except they make the best sagging springs available.

                Trent is right about the sagging, but it isnt rediculously bad. Not nearly as bad as the h and r sports my friend had. I don't care how good of a reputation h and r has, those springs were shit. I want to get some new springs soon but these did me well for the time I had them. Also it says on the box that they are from The Netherlands I believe.

                  They feel like stock springs that have been cut. If all you want is looks instead of performance, then I suppose they aren't so bad. Otherwise, I'd spend an additional $50 or so for some quality springs.

                      Well now i know im not going to get these. I heard the drop is nice but wanted to know more about stiffness etc. Looks like im goin back to IE or H&R or Eibach.
