i'm getting B+G's for my ride, as far as quality ride i'm sure it will be the best compared to all the ones that are out right now. B+G is about the ride, so they focus on a comfortable ride and it has the ability to be stiff when ur being competitive.

u can dial in your suspension but you cant lower or raise it to your wants and needs... The konis is not something im gonna wanna deal with and they make you use the stock struts up front somethin im not to fond of

but why do that when you can spend 800-1200 dollars on a full setup and even selling your stock struts for more cash

no, not really b/c any shock swap in the front you need to cut it. now a strut swap is deferent. as with coilovers



as for coilovers i wouldn't trust under 1,000 dollars ones

The ksport rears are as adjustable as you think. Ask jimbo's ss or even jumpin fool. They both have or had the set.

whats your reasoning behind this?

I spent > $800 on my Tein coilovers for the Lex. Trusted name and great quality/ride.

You guys just dont have any companies making the coilovers for your cars so they all jack up the prices. Its all about supply and demand.

That being said Id go with the B+G's.
