BMR or G2's!?
 
Reading, reading and reading some more and not sure which ones I want to get. Want to know peoples likes and dislikes, ground clearance issues, handling, etc. Dailey driver that may see some solo course time in the future. Found mixed reviews on the BMR's and not much info on the G2's. Planning on running the springs with Koni's (gen4) ,QTP headers and catted Y in the future. Thanks for any help and information you all can provide.

with you looking to auto-X the car, the G2's would be the better choice. If you were just looking to lower, and didnt care about handling, then BMR's would be the obvious choice.

i just installed the G2's in my car last weekend. i am very pleased with them.

Theres also a sticky thread on site comparing lowering springs...

I read the sticky and whatever I could find with the search. The sticky is good, but doesn't have a whole lot of reviews on handling, clearance(under car), etc. I'm leaning to the G2's, but wanted some user reviews and like stated ^, I will be running Koni shocks. Thanks for the replies.

BitViper: How long have you had yours on and what do you meen by,"not stock?" I have my wifes cavalier lowered on sportlines w/ Konis and it rides great and had a '68 Camaro that was done a little.

I'd disagree with that statement. Between just those two I'd vote BMR because they are more similar to what I use on my car. Which I bring up because some autocrossing was mentioned.

However, I'd actually not use either. :)

Sam Strano, been meening to call you. Thanks for the input. See your name mentioned everywhere and seems that you're the man to call. What would you run?

Sam Strano Jan 31, 2006 02:27 PM

I can't tell you that, because I don't have near enough info to go on. :) Lots of things effect what I'd use. Have to be disucssed for a solid recommendation.

Or in simple terms: call him.

Shadow1999 Jan 31, 2006 03:08 PM

I understood that, thanks. Already said I've been meening to call him.
