Just ordered B&G springs for my LT....Ive got fe5 struts sitting in my garage and i plan on getting the fe5 shocks very sooon...my question is are the B&Gs really hard on the axles? Ive heard about axle binding and i dont even know what that is but it sounds bad enough for to want to cancel my order...

any help please?

 

not sure bout those..but my h&r's killed my axles

 

Cancel your order. Those are one of the lowest drop springs, if not the lowest. They WILL kill your axles and the car will ride like ****.

 

I sent them a email like 30 min after this thread and they never responded and still shipped my order....wow this is going to be a pain in the ass...should hav gone with sportlines

 

No. You should have gone with Pedders. Sportlines are noisy and ride like ****. You should sell your B&G's to some unsuspecting sucker and order the Pedders springs + TC FE5 shock and strut package from crateenginedepot.com.

 

I just don't see myself spending an extra 200 just to improve handling a little when I don't even whip my car around that hard anyways.

 

With B&G's, you will be buying new axles before long. Pedders would be cheaper in the long run because they don't have as big of a drop.

 

I understand where your coming from and I like the smaller drop too...I didn't want my car to be slammed just lose the 4x4 look it has now.

welllll www.slickcar.com is gay

ignored my 2 emails saying cancel the ******* order so I called the customer service and I have to wait for them to get in the mail, ship them back (i pay for shipping) with a note explaining the problem, then they will recredit my account which takes 3-4 days....

ill prob end up ordering pedders since I dont want it slammed but im still considering the sportlines

i understand the B&G drop on a LT is like 2/2.5, what is it with the sportlines?

 

Sportlines will likely drop about 1/2" to 3/4" less than B&G's all around. I know a few people with B&G's took them off again within a week because there is almost no suspension travel with them. If you want a moderate drop and a better ride than Sportlines, Progress springs are a good option also. That's what I have with SS/TC struts and I'm happy with them. Also check out CM (Canuck Motorsports) springs on Ebay. You can get them for less than $200 shipped. They drop about the same as Sportlines and offer a smoother ride.

I would just sell the B&G's to someone for what you paid, rather than sending them back at your cost.
