Default B+G Springs -- Am I wasting my time

I got a great deal on them from spyeng.com when I ordered my 19" rims.

I have searched the forum and found the standard recommendation but can't find any info on these.

Thanks !

Default Only a handful out there.....>

Nobody knows much about them. A good deal is only a good deal if you got good stuff. Last pair I saw mentioned here were being given away and I think he had a hard time doing that. How much were they?

With absolutely no issues. Excellent springs for an excellent price.

B+G is a tier 1 supplier of springs to European automakers and they have TUV certification.

Default Maybe a dumb question

The B+G's are the shot on the right, correct? I love the ride height in the photo, I may have to go that direction.

Thanks for the info !

Your car looks great. I figured spyeng would not send me down the wrong path.

Yes, the red one is the B+G spring.

Default I have them on my 225QR. Love the ride height, but many people don't have them.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/54172/dsc01134.jpg"></center><p>Most went with what was popular - eibach/neuspeed - but I wanted to be a little lower and didn't want coilovers. I don't have any problems with mine - about 3000 miles on them. This pic was before they settled all the way. More pics in my pic poster. Oh ya, I've also fixed my camber since those pictures!

Default I've been running the BGs....

In my opinion they are the best all-round spring out there...as mentioned above not many people are running them...so they don't really get the credit they deserve. They are essentially the lowest spring for our cars without any side effects (excessive rake/harshness/collapsing). Also, the ride is perfect for me...firm but not harsh. Shoot me an e-mail with an questions.
