B+G springs and Bilstein struts
I've been looking around and so far it looks like B+G makes springs with the rates and drop that I want, and Bilstein seem to be the way I'm leaning for struts. Does anybody have any horror stories about either of these , or know if they make a good combo?

I tried running the bilsteins on the H&R's, which if you look at the list I made are much softer than the B&G's. They do not have what it takes for duty with stiffer lowering springs. I pulled them after less than 5k and replaced them with the Koni's. Night and day differance. I only went with the Bilsteins cause a tech their screwed up and told me their 30% stiffer than oem accord struts, WRONG their only 15% stiffer, not good enough. Only Bilstein Sport struts are 30% stiffer, but you can't get those for our cars.
BTW, I sent the Bilsteins back to Bilstein and had them revalved for much stiffer springs. Once they were revalved they did kick butt, but out of the box, they suck with lowering springs. Get the koni's. And several members have complained about the Tokicos being to soft in the front, and the kyb's are only oem replacements so you want to stay away from those as well.
