Those struts are only good for up to a 1.4 inch drop. If I remember right B&G is 1.6. Yeah I mean if your on a budget bushings aren't a bad idea, strut bars are cheap and easy to come by, so just do your reasearch man, theres a @!#$ load of parts for the J.
eh i still dont even feel comfortable lowering on blues even though people say they are good for a 1.5" drop. if b&g are only a 1.6" drop you should be ok. the blues dont carry a warranty like agxs do and they arent adjustable. if your looking for just a cheap way to lower the car this should be an alright suspension to use. while your under there check out some of the bushing and boots to make sure everything is good. if not it would be easy to replace it while your doing your suspension.

Couldn't have said it better. If you are going for more aggressive handling, you might want to think about some sway bars as well.
i got all these parts for a steal
everything was around 400 bucks brand new !! i don't take turns like im indy 500 here guys and i cruise on this car for the most part since is slow ass ballz. i forgot to mention i have installed vibrant front and rear strut bars, i can feel the improvement already on them but the front one is rubbing and making noises. i might have to go with a different front strut bar. whats a decent brand ?? or should i go ebay with it ??
