Experience with B&G S2 Sport Springs for AWD?

I'm looking to lowering my 09 SH-AWD, I searched online and the only option for the SHAWD seems to be the H&R, However it only a 1.0" drop and i found these B&G sport springs on the XLR8 site saying its got a 1.4" drop.

Was wondering if anyone has these on their SHAWD and how were they?

Thanks

If you want a drop around that much I'd go with the Tein S-Tech springs. Tein is a proven brand and a lot of guys have experience with them. I had their H-Tech springs on my TSX and have nothing but good things to say.

I would have gone Tein's, however they dont make springs for the SHAWD model

The Tein S-Techs are compatible with the SH-AWD...

The spring fits both the awd and the fwd, the only difference is it will drop the fwd .1 inch lower. Its normal that some sites have screwed up info just make sure the part # is the same one indicated on the tein site.

I've dealt with heeltoeauto in the past and had a very good experience...pretty sure they price match too if you find them for cheaper.

OP, try out the B&G springs. TH Motorsports has them for 209 shipped. They seem to be top quality as they are ISO9001, QS1400, and TUV Certified. The drop is aggressive too at 1.4 inch. If I didn't go coilover, I'd get these all day. I posted this link on another thread. I'm curious to see how they are in terms of ride and quality.

I was leaning towards the B&G as they give the most aggressive drop in terms of springs, but just wanted to know how the ride quality will be. Just want an aggressive drop in trade of horrible ride. If not feedback i might just have to be the guinea pig and right a review after i get them

For the similarity in price I would definitely go with H&R or TEIN.
