My B&G experience...

Blah- would not buy again... This suspension has the biggest ricer bounce I have ever driven on. The roads where I live are not great and you feel it even more, people get in my car and refer to it as a "roller coaster"... I spent over $900 on a suspension and it still has the "ricer bounce".

The Tein SS rode like stock, amazing ride, amazing handling? Why you get rid of them you ask? They did not go low enough...I got 19s and wanted to be slammed, but now I realize, I am slammed, but I bounce.

I am so embarrased to have people in my car, not to even mention the backseat where they hit their head on the roof...

/End Rant

Skunk2 full coilovers are coming out really soon. B&G bounciness could be because it is slammed. Try raising it up just to see the difference.
