Springs: RD Sport or B&G

SilentAttack · 04-15-2013, 06:58 PM

Ive read many many threads on RD sport springs and have heard great things about them. I want the "DROP"

Ive looked for info on the B&G S2 Sport spring and cant find too much info on them but it looks like the front gets and additional .25"drop and the rear .2" any additional info on these would be great.

Just installed a set on my buddies e92, overall the ride is very nice and the drop is nice as well

The B&G give a little bit of a lower drop and you save about $125 too. Just not sure if they ever "bottom out"

feedback please

I have been driving on these for a few days now and have not been "bottoming out" at all. A-Spec installed these with E36 bumpstops and so far I have LOVED them. Ride is not harsh at all and you get that drop you are looking for. I switched out my Ground Control sleeve-over kit for this setup and do not regret it at all.

If you would like pics, let me know your email and I will send them over.

Talk to mkpoto or Tom@EAS if you want to order. Top Notch IMO.

Good luck.
Chris

SilentAttack · 04-16-2013, 11:11 PM

Ordered the E36 bumpstops too. I dont plan on shaving the mounts or anything though...

What did A-Spec charge you for the install? I just picked up a set of B&G's.

i can't speak for B&G, but i've been in a few cars with RD springs and the ride was awesome... the drop is low, but the ride quality was second to none of cars i've been in.

I am running B&G springs. The ride is very close to stock, and the drop is perfect.
