There was a post from them looking for someone to fit and "test" them on EM. I guess the OP is the Guinea Pig.
The part that scares me(not really, as I'm not gonna buy them) is, they(or maybe had the Chinese? nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :police:) produced them, and simply asked someone to lend them their car, and that was it. That's their R&D department :-o The testee (or would that be sucker testor?) drove around on the street with them, and pronounced them quality merchandise[BIGFATTHUMBSUP]
I'm sure they're good for two-three seconds a lap :2funny:

B+G used to make one of the best coilovers imo in the S2 speed sensitive model. They then came out with the RS2 model. It seems selling one of the best coilovers was not profitable so they came out with these cheapos but I'm sure these are still alot better than most on the market. My S2s were way better than my Tein Flex and KW V2s. But the main problem with them and they seem to still not have fixed 8 years later is the rear lower bushing is made from rubber that breaks, whereas other coilover are a solid piece of metal. But yeah just bc they were test fitted here doesn't mean they weren't R&Ded in germany and just making sure they work here.
