I have two friends with 02 Civics that've had their B+Gs on over a year using their stock uppermounts. They've had no problem with them other than one of them having the noise issue that's fixed with lithium grease.

They said the same thing to me. But after 3 days, the B+G was at my doorstep. Even StreetLevelPerformance couldn't believe it. SLP thought it was back-ordered until the 2nd of August.

Anyway, I hope you get your soon.
If I don't see it soon, there may be a lucky vendor on this website with my business.

Where do you live? I would guess you got yours because it was shipped from a different vendor that had them in stock. Otherwise, if you are on the West Coast or near it, then something odd is going on.

B+G has better lowering options. They are on the same level as the Basic, but all in all, it just depends on how low you want to go.

The only other option that B+Gs have are the speed sensetive helper springs which helps stiffen the ride when the car's weight shifts to the side that depends more on making the car turn better. The only downside is that if your car has a lot of weight in it, the helper springs will stiffen the ride and that could result to an uncomfortable ride.

2k2EXCOUPE will become famous soon enough
Honestly- my B&G's have more of a "bounce" to them compared to my Tein SS...

But that also could be less shock travel or whatever since im considerably lower than I was on Tein SS also (mainly in front)...

Love it tho- tucking is schweeeet.

B+G sleeved coilovers and KYBs? I wonder how those are but they don't have B+G sleeved coilovers for 7thGens, only the S3s full coilovers.

It's kew. It was probably going to appear that way to you since GCs were in the subject line. Not many people would compare sleeved coilovers to full coilovers unless it would be just a simple height question like which set-up would go lower.

I can't recall B+G selling springs... I guess they do...

I cancelled my order with tunersports.com. I'd been waiting for 40 DAYS since I ordered it. I would've stuck with them if they just provided me with information about my product instead of having to fish for it after the expected date passed. Some companies and businesses just can't be depended on, even for something as simple as info.

Jeff from SLP gets my sale, and I hope to see my product here tomorrow or Monday.

I was serious about sticking with their deal, too. $831.25, but I'd rather pay a little more money and actually get the product if they can't do their job. There is more to a sale than a good deal.

tunersports said that if everything goes as planned, it should be available next week but I supposed that's the best they can do and it can't be helped because of the backorder they have to face. It's all good, I have no more beef with them.

I can't wait for my product. Some people on this forum see me as a very patient person, and it's not that I got impatient after waiting, I just don't want to play the patient game anymore. My car hasn't been driven since June 12th but that's my fault.
