B&G Lowering Springs are sweet and oftern overlooked make when It comes to performance springs. This company has been around from the beginning of auto time. They will lower your ride 1.25 Inches. I've had them for 3yrs now and have no complaints except whn I go over pot holes or railroad tracks.

Any camber problems with that drop? Did you put aftermarket shocks/struts in with them?

After I Installed them, It wasn't until after 2 weeks I got a 4 wheel alignment (so the suspension could "settle In"). I do notice a slight negative camber but not much. Not really noticible to the eye but mine. Handling was Improved significantly with this mod.

You need to upload the pic in the Test Area 51 forum. We cant see it.

PS thanks for the heads up on B&G.

You didnt attach it to the email either. Right above the submit reply button is a "browse" button for attaching files. Click it then select your picture. Thats how you upload it.

Ok man make a post. Then before you post it look down where it says "attach file" and hit the white "browse" button. Look through your computer(wherever you have the pic exactly I don't know) and find the pic. Click on the name of it and attach it and then make the post.
