this is gonna be sweet...32 way adjustable and it adjusts from the bottom so the shock travel stays the same no matter what Last edited by ironcow; 07-08-2005 at 11:28 AM.

What gets adjusted? Bump? Rebound? Both? Telling me that its 32 way adjustible doesnt tell me squat about the damper.

Rep Power: 389 If they are 32 way adjustable, I am sure they are just rebound adjustable. IN addition if the height adjusts from the mount, then the price will be around Tein Flex/JIC FLTA-2. You know the spring rates IronCow?

Rep Power: 0 i think they are rated a 6 they said they were shipped 10s and they shipped them right back lol
update: i was now informed they are not the adjustable shocks which is ok...i needed a new suspension anyway
time for an alignment

Rep Power: 0 here is an update...im finally getting stuff taken care of
1. the dampening adjustables never went on...the rear busings were too big so they had to send back to the factory to get new ones
2. i had a test set that went on about a month ago...horrible. they tried to make the front tie rod hole universial for teh civic and the si so the hole was too big, with in a couple days of alignement it was loose and pulling left and right. the alignement shop tightened the bolts way too tight and blew out my tie rod ends so i need to replace them. they took off the suspension yesterday and put back on the S3 and the left rear coilover looked blown cause it ground down on somethiong and oil was leaking everywhere
so now i have my s3 back on, i still hear noises in the back but they said its just basic shock travel...i have no idea
overall the guys at b+g are great but i dont trust their work, couple bolts were loose or not as tight as they could have been and i feel that i could have done better work, given that i installed them in teh first place
the s3 right now is a better system but who knows, if they get the kinks out maybe they'll have something good, but for now ill stick with what ive got and if i need to upgrade then tein here i come
if you have any questions or comments hit me up on aim

Rep Power: 0 eh... if they can't even put on a set of their own suspension, makes me feel iffy about their product....
