i have confirmed with the b+g springs.....

the nasty vibrations goes away from the sprints. i tested the set today as promised and the vibration completly gone... also i was suprised at how much better the ride is on the redline. i also had another customer as per wes at sms switch his out to the b+g (we did 2 sets today) and he had the same results. vibration gone. i have been able to confirm the vibration with the sprints. and the progress now they both do it about equally on my car. i hate to do it cause its alsmost not worth the drop but i think mine will go to the b+g's sorry to say

Are the B&G's for the regular ION or for the Redline specifically?

they dont heightnen the ride, i am comparing them to the sprints. the b+g are lowering springs but only lower the redline about 1" and they are not specific redline springs. the sprints lower the car 1.5" or so compared the just under an inch. all the other springs will lower the car to much.

Glad you got it sorted out (I just KNEW it was the springs)
I'm either gonna get the B+G or Eibachs for my QC3 I figure
What did you have to pay for the B+Gs??

i think that the b+g would personally look better, altho i think that the car would look so great slamed to the ground with some wild gfx but then were getting to ricery. but 1 inch would not be too noticable to my wife or anyone but diffently give a better ride and look.

Only thing that worries me about getting springs that arent made for the redline is that the performance may not be as good from stock. I mean we allready have a sportty ride. These springs are made to give the regular ions a sportier ride. I really wanna know if the ride is at least as stiff as stock.

B&G springs are actually produced by Sprint.
