What the...?!?!??

[b-b00gie]

uhm... has anyone ever heard of B&G suspension??

they offer a full coilover kit for a P11 that even has helper springs...


i was on carparts.com today... just looking around.. saw "coilover kits" listed... clicked on it expecting to see something like.. "no listings found..."

but to my surprise saw... "B&G S3 coilover suspension" while the kit has some kewl features like helper springs etc... they dont look like high quality... (ie.. tein, h&r, jic)


check it out.. http://www.carparts.com/parts/newsea...toidsearch=YES

i dont think the pic is of the actual g20 suspension.. just a general pic... but it does say the kit if for 1999-2000 G20 (P11)

B&G? hummm...B&G, B&G..........never heard of them...are they European?

[i_rebel]

I've heard the name before . . . but I never knew that they made suspension components for the G20 . . . that's news to me, but it's great news . . .

Glad to know the market is widening out for us a bit . . . more to choose from.

Those pics look like they have a shortened strut body . . . a la the Motivational setup, no?

the springs and perches look shitty...


but the pistons are pretty thick, and also notice the dampers have the adjustable knobs at the top

>>the springs and perches look shitty...


sheeesh, glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way. hehehe. the perch looks like it's gonna slip ....like em' koni's after a day at the auto-x. car comes back slanted...da da da da damn!!! saw that happen on a civic. sorry couldn't help laughing as I showed off my TEIN's.

[b-b00gie]

i'm still amazed at how that c-clip holds up the tein perches!!!

this THIN LITTLE c-clip is basically holding the weight of your car!! lol... good engineering i guess...

[kenchan]

yeh, japanese 0 tolerance spec, I guess. but yah, I too am quite amazed how that little thin ring can hold the weight of the car. I was showing off my typeHA's on my other car that day. hehe. noway sheet locks are gonna jump...right?

these are interesting....also, long time ago when the P11 first came out in the US, Maxspeed magazine had a project G20...they also put on some coilovers by a name i never heard off...Bell soemthing...maybe they are these B&G ones? i'll go through my magazine tonight......anyway, dont get too excited about their "project" G20...ti's long gone and all they did was paint it yellow, 18inch rims, the WW thruster wing (ugly imo) and remapped ecu.
the only cool thing about that car is that it's the prototype for WW for their front lip (it's the car that's in wingswest' site) and maxspeed custom a carbon fiber extension on the lip that looked really cool....i'll scan some pics (cuz i know b00gie will be asking for them!!! heheh)

I've heard of them, supposed to be really good european stuff, one of the best I believe or so i've heard, its 9002 and TUV certified but who knows...

here's there site www.b-gsuspension.com

and here's another pic...

[b-b00gie]

well it does look a little better in that picture.

btw the site says its 12 way adjustable dampers


who's gonna be the first to get them lol... if i hadnt just bought the Tein's from Luke I might go for these and be the guinea pig...


lol.. we were talking about Henry switching wheels like socks.. well hell, i'm the same way w/ suspensions.. i think i'll be up to my 6th different setup now...

FYI...

www.mmrusa.com
www.nis-knacks.com

also sell this product and their line of lowering springs too...

it appears to be top-notch quality with the www.b15sentra.net community and someone on there has them already...

Here's an even better pic of it...it's the exact set for a B15 (2000-01) Sentra...

[kenchan]

hey, actually those b&g's look pretty decent. got sheet locks and all.

[b-b00gie]

wow.. getting better looking with every pic...

no pillow ball mounts??

OK all you suspension experts!! Dom and I were going to try and keep this a secret until he managed to get them on his car. We went and looked at a similar kit at a local shop here. I got a really good vibe about the place and they didn't BS me like some places I've been to. They had a 'race preped' RX-7 in the shop so I imagine they know a thing or two about suspension.

They guy told me the shocks have a lifetime warrenty. If they go bad you just replace them, for the cost of replacement I assume. You can get any spring rate you want as well. For the price they look pretty good. I'll stick with my TEIN's for now, considering my employments situation.
