B&g

hey guys i just picked up my B&G springs, its a 1.7 inch drop in the front and a 2 inch in the back, i got my SS in oct. of last year so its still bran new i was wondering if it would be a good idea to wait and get struts, or wait a year till like next spring to get nice ones. im not worried about blowing out a strut but im jus wondering wut u guys think. also iv tryed searching and didnt have much luck but if n-e one has a SS lowed with just B&G springs if they can post a pic id like to see the drop ( even tho i already got the springs im jus wondering )

thanks guys

Damn that is low! But it looks amazing
The eibach sportlines lower only 1" Front and 1.3" Rear and that is already putting stress on the stock struts/shocks making them only last on average 40-60k depending on road conditions from what I've been told.
(Ontario roads are Hmmmmm Not too good I've been there many times)

I would say if these lower 1.6" Front and 2" Rear then get koni shocks and do it all at once otherwise there is no saying how long the stock FE5 shocks will last.

I wish the wheel gap would be the same in the front like it is in the back... Anyone have any more pics ? I want to pick these up but the uneven wheel gap on the sedan is turning me off a bit..

had b&g's on my old base model and blew the rear shocks and right strut after a few thousand miles, road like **** and personally i think the springs were way to soft, but were low.

if you get b&g springs u might as well get the tc shocks and struts. for like $300
