I just installed a set of B+G lowering springs on my car this weekend. They are supposed to drop the car 1.6", but it settled out and it is more like 4". I'm scraping the wheel-wells, and scraping the ground effects. Does anyone else have these springs?

Thanks,
Dave

Ditto. Never heard of them and 4" would bottom out the suspension & the ground effects!!!

Any pics and how do you drive it?

I got the springs from Manta Ray Motorsports (http://www.mmrusa.com) for $200. I'll post pictures as soon as I get home and use the digital camera.

I Hear B+G springs and koni struts are especially helpful in high speed cornering while evading certain uniformed police officers in metro ATL...

'sup dave its John....did that thing settle down even lower than what it was Saturday night?

Dave's car is dropped LOW compared to other lowered SVT's I've seen....his tires...225/55's I think....were tucked under the fender wells. Very smooth looking but Saturday night we noticed it started to rub a bit....The car is lowered more like two to three inches instead of 1.6.....VERY agressive, but Dave's car now handles like a go cart.
