B&G s2 lowering springs

I've been looking around for lowering springs for my 09 G5, and everyone seems to only sell ones that'll just lower my car 1-1.3 inches, I want a little bit more of a drop (1.5-2") and the only ones I can find are B&G s2's. I was wondering what you guys have heard about that brand. if you find other better brands that lower around that please let me know. thanks

I've got them on my base sedan. Ride bumpy as all hell and drops really low. Looks good but functions too bad for my liking, just never wanted to change springs.

i am hopefully getting the b&g springs from a member on here soon. on the lnf the drop is not as much due to stiffer struts, but still lower than my h&r sports in the rear, so I am going to keep my front H&R sports, then have B&G rears. slammed front and rear

IMO they look great as far as drop (if you like low) but they are just to low for the roads/speedbumps around here. I didnt think they rode to rough for the amount of drop but then again iv never had any other lowering springs so..

Boosted you have a Pm
