B&G is a well known company; although, like Tokico dampers, don't expect the dampers to last a very long time; apprx. 3 years

Koni, Bilstein are by far the best consumer level dampers you can find.

I've actually never heard of B&G in my life!

The description is pretty lame...

B&G S2K Suspension Kit Advantage

* Progressive Rate S2 Springs
* Maintains Good Ride Quality
* 4 Tuned Matched Shocks
* Inproved Road Feel and Handling
* ISO9002, QS14001 and TUV Certified
* Full Manufacturer Warranty

There's no real specs there... just suggestions that they are "tuned and matched", and gives "good ride quality". If they can't tell me about the shocks, or give information about the spring rates... I'll pass.

The price is nice... but when it comes to suspension, you really do get what you pay for. I'd say save your money for quality springs (H&R or Neuspeed are my favorites) and quality shocks (Konis are amazing. Bilsteins are equally amazing, but not adjustable). I would also factor in a camber kit for the front at least (rear if you plan on going lower than 2"), and an alignment... that, or expect to replace your tires soon.

You'll know for sure after you get an alignment.

is it a big drop or a gud enough drop

[JoshM]

is it a big drop or a gud enough drop

1.6 drop isn't much. But, it'll be noticeable.

[deevergote]

1.6 is what most companies refer to as a "sport" drop. I had a drop like that, and I really liked the stance.

You should get a good front camber kit at the very least. You'll probably be able to get away without a rear kit. Don't get a cheap $50 camber kit... they can break, which can lead to a fatal accident (because they don't break when you're going 15mph... they break when you're going 70mph, or driving like a moron on curvy roads) I would invest in a TASauto adjustable upper control arm set. They are hands-down the best, and safest, kits you can buy. Not cheap... but this is your life we're talking about. If you want to go cheap, don't do it on your suspension.

iight man thanks does anyone have a picture of a cb7 wit a 1.6 drop

[deevergote]

Not the best picture... but that's on H&R Sport springs and KYB AGX shocks. The tires are a 40 aspect ratio, though, so they're not as tall as they should be. That makes it seem like there's more wheel gap than there should be.

my rims are are sittin on 40s too so it look the same

[92accord ex]

im not sure how much to drop my car im sittin on 205/40/17 and i want them to sit a little b4 the wheel weld so how much is that

[deevergote]

What weld?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking... or what you'd consider "a little b4"... as that's not exactly a precise measurement. I'm currently down a little over 2", and I'd say that's where I am.

Look through the Members Rides section and find a drop you like. See what they're running, and consider that. If it's cheap crap... reconsider.

on my 91 Talon TSI I had Ground Control Coilovers (which are Eibach Springs) and KYB AGX struts, and I really liked that setup. Plus the struts are 4 way adjustable in the front and 8 way in the rear.

[deevergote]

Ground Controls are good. AGXs are not made to be lowered any more than 1.5". Any more will void the warranty.

In the picture above, that's what I'm running. I have since switched to Koni Yellows, and the difference is night and day. I wouldn't touch AGXs with a 10 foot pole now. They're not bad... but the Konis make them look like garbage.
