What Do You Guys Think Of B-g Coilovers For 2001 Civic Ex
here is the situation guys.. Im a complete noob in the car world and im looking to slam my car 2.5-3 inches... Now i went to check prices on coils today, and the best price i got was for B-G full coilovers... They were selling 400 dollars less than the tein basics.. Does anybody have this setup for their car??? I need to know how the drive is... Thanks guys

Stevie

B&Gs are rumored to be sold out - they are being redesigned to fit 03+ models. the current version only fits 01/02s.

If it doesn't work out for ya, definitely hook up with Ed at Truehonda. I got my B+G's from him a few weeks ago (old version) and they are great! Good drop, firm but comfortable ride. Truehonda is the best vendor on this site too IMO!

How do they stand up in varying temperatures?

Cause the temperature here can range from -30 to +30 deg C.

And I've heard that lower end coilovers, such as the D2 coilovers, would blow when used in subzero temperature.

You may want to ask "blouisgod" on this site as he knows a thing or two about them and has had them on his car for a while. Ed at Truehonda might know too. Hope that helps!
