ive never heard of them, where did you find them? im looking for some good, cheap replacement springs. i dont know too many suspension companies so if they are popular i just dont know about them...anyways. a 1.25" drop would be good as most kits ive seen only drop an inch from what ive seen and i dont think that would be enough for my car since ive taken out a good bit of weight

Silverrotor highly recommends them

I emailed them about spring rates, they haven't emailed me back yet..

Where'd you order them from?

To think that the "best" kept Springs were to be kept In the wraps - until now. If I am not mistaken, they dropped my FC a good 2". I've have been using these B&G Springs for the last 3yrs and they've remained tight all throught.

I can't say I've had much experience outside of B&G, but I will say these made In Sweden Springs are top notch In their design and lower the car to appreciable sleeker look aswell!

my dad has an online car parts buisness if you need anything ever let me know.....i get stuff dirt cheap.... like these springs i paid cost and it was $132 plus $14 shipping.... He'll sell stuff cheap..if he makes $20 he's happy....he'd get the spings to you probably for $180 shipped and wouldn't think twice about it.... I ordered 2 mufflers from him. n1 style $113 shipped....for both.

Yes! Mums the word. Shhh.

Perhaps you could add to this thread after you Install the B&G Springs and get a feel for them.
