Hello everyone
Do we have anyone here using B+G springs? I just ordered, since I am a dealer for them. I have heard excellent stuff, but they are new to the US.
I will be posting before and after pics, plus a reveiw down the road.
Thanks!

No, but I've heard nice things as well. If you dont mind, what was the cost of the springs and where may I get them in the LV, NV area? I'm in the market for a nice set myself.

uh...well...I am a dealer, through a distributor. I am paying about $150, but that is what is jokingly referred to as "cost". They say they provide a 1.6" drop front and rear.
Look for pics fairly soon!

Pics, Pics!! And you should set up a GB or something so us lowly "users" can get something like this just a little closer to *cost*. :)

Pics coming soon. I just got hit with ANOTHER $510 a month in child support. F^&K californias legal system! It may be a little while until I can afford struts and shocks. I have decided I am gonna do Tokiko blues, regardless what other folks say here or elsewhere.
Tons of Autocrossers swear by them, thraash them as daily drivers and weekend warriors still hitting 100,000 miles on them.

I have a set installed on my 88 IX, my only problem with them is the rear end looks a lot lower than the front. I am going to fix this by installing thicker spring pads in the rear. I will take some pics here in the next couple days so you can see. Hope this helps.

Hey Luke have you installed the springs yet? If so what do you think?

I was trying to show how low the rear suspension is in that pic, and yeah the tip looks like crap, especially from that angle. It really isn't THAT hideous though, and it is loud. Here is another pic with some summer wheels on from my old 325is.

Not bad at all man! I really like it with the rims on. How much did you say I could get a set for :twisted:

I got my set through shox.com and paid $189 for the set. The install is easy, so you really don't need to pay somebody to do it for you. I think the final total with shipping (overnight) was like $224. But earlier in the thread Luke said that he could get the set for like $150.
