i know that squeezinse just recently bought his and i am considering them for they seem a bit better than the TEIN SS but i want the suspension Gurus to guide and opinionate on them.
I'm not sure anyone has them for the B14's...I think the main difference between them is that the SS's are manually adjustable and the B&G's adjust based off a butterfly valve within the strut.
Well,
One advantage to the double spring is how the shock responds to small undulations. By having 2 springs with different rates, smaller bumps which would hit with a fast upward velocity will be absorbed by the smaller spring. This is useful in touring car racing when cars are rounding a corner with the weight of the car and the g-forces pushing the car, and then the car hits the little white and red curb. It doesn't upset the balance as oppsoed to one spring. Of course single spring units are not coiled with a universal rate. It usually varies.
Well, I can't say what tein SS's feel like when driving but after replacing the GC/AGX combo with the B&G's and Cusco camber plates the steering response alone warrants the upgrade. The ride is nice. With the shortened strut design it seems that the car actually wants to ride lower then normal and believe it or not, actually rides smoother when the car is slammed. I'll have pics and everything once I get new tires put on, alignment and corner balancing then I can also give a more thurrow(sp?) review.
I can hook you up with someone who can get them for 986 plus about 35 shipping. I think he said only two sets left so let me know. Only serious inquiries please as I don't want the guy bombarded with "i'm not sure I'll call you back" types of questions.
sorry bro but I just got done recieving my new Prokits all I need now is AGXs.But Liuspeed needs some so let him know.Damn thats like 1/2 off what Greg is sellin....................

dont count out the ss's though there liu...the steering and handling is tight and very responsive, even when i was riding on 10 (highest setting is 16) it wasnt bumpy, it was still kinda smooth

I have questions for you guys looking at the B+G stuff. You should seriously consider the answers and compare to the Teins. Do you know the spring rates? How much are the dampers shortened compared to stock? Do they offer camber plates? If you ever decide to change spring rates can you A.) even get different rates and B.) will the damper valving handle different rates. There is even more to consider, but thats a good start. I will tell you about the Teins
Spring rates: Front 336 lbs/in Rear 280 lbs/in
Front dampers are over 2" shorter, rears over .5" shorter
Tein offers camber plates and solid rear upper mounts(similar to Motiviational Eng.)
Tein offers different rate springs and different leangths.
The dampers will handle a spring rate change of 112lbs/in either stiffer or softer.
