B&G Lowering Springs

[Createdtoburn]

B&G Lowering Springs. ... are they any good? I plan on upgrading to KYB GR-2 struts/shocks along with them. I've found a few different springs. There's the Eibach's, Apexi, and these B&G springs. Any thoughts on best ones? I'll be using the car mostly for daily driving. I would just like a nice lowered look, but not slammed to the ground or anything.

B+Gs are no good.

APEXs are good if you want your car pretty low, but you'll hit the bump stops still.

eibachs are probably the best for handling, but aren't going to be that low, probably half way between stock and apex

I'm going to see some other peoples opinions before deciding, but thank you for your info. I'll take that into consideration.

no problem

I've owned a set of B+Gs and APEXs btw. my B+Gs blew my new front GR2s in 6 months.

Is it because they allowed too much shock travel?

[eage8]

they lowered the car too much and were too soft so the car just drove around on the bump stops in to front slamming into them all the time.

APEX springs are much cheaper, there isn't any reason to get B+Gs

So it looks like Apexi has a dealer located in the same city I live in, surprisingly the only one in the whole state. I wonder if I should go to that place and have them order me the springs? Or would they jack the price up too much?

Know anywhere online I could get them from even?

that's the wrong apex.

you used to be able to get them from their canadian distributor for really cheap (under $200) but their side is broken:

the website has this person as a Canadian importer too:

Idk if it's do to my car not being a corolla but I do have b&g's on my echo and there fine DD'n. With gr2's. Idk if suspension travel is different on the echo as to the ae92

I have had both and seen different cars myself with both B&G and apex. The B&G seem to lower the front more than the back, the apex are pretty low but drop it evenly. my vote would be for the apex or go the GC route.

whats your budget? its really to bad they dont make a 1/2 way spring inbetween the eibachs and apex. the eibachs really almost stock lol. gr2s = 200 and springs = 200 so thats roughly 400. or GC with gr2s = 600ish. at which point its prob best to just save for coilovers. barry sells fortune autos for $1250 shipped in the USA.

BTW what is your goal, this has alot to do with what you should go with.
