i put a set on about three weeks ago, using the stock struts. the ride is still pretty good, definitely stiffer. it handles much better while cornering. where are you getting them from?

They are nice. Good ride a little softer than the TEIN's. I've only driven them on surface streets so I didn't get an idea of how the handle under racing conditions.

I put a set into a friends B15 and they ride pretty decent....As far as how they are compared to KYB's,,well the KYB's are just a shock you still need some sort of coilover sleeve system or a lowered spring to make it like a coilover,,were the B&G's are a full set-up..
I'm gonna go with a set of KYB's and the Ground Control sleeves in my B13..Yup I'm going the cheaper route...

hey seneb,
Im ordering them from a place in east providence rhode island called leading edge. There like the only good performance shop around here. Paying 1300 for full coilover suspension and 100 for installation so 1400 total. I think that is a good deal seein that from b&g its 1800 just for the coilovers themselves. when i get them hopefully i can get a pic up on here. peace

If you can when you intall them or get them installed can you take a side by side pic of the shock? I'd like to see how much the shock is shortened if at all? Something like this. The stock shocks beside the TEIN shocks.
