Default B&G Coilovers?

So I just liquidated some of my assets (read: sold ****), and I'm looking for some coilovers for my Si. I've been reading around about the B&G Coilovers that are available on CorsportUSA, and I've read *mostly* good reviews. Any one here have personal experience with them? Doesn't matter on what models. I know the lowering range is nuts on them, but I'm curious about reliablility and performance.

Also, I heard rumors about Tanabe releasing some coilovers for 06+ Si. Anyone have experience with those either?

I have them on my 2007 and the fit and finish is nice. They went on easy and they ride great considering I am dumped in the front. Only complaint is if you want to go low get something else I have the back as low as they will go and I still need about another 3/4 in to be level with the front. The look of mine is the fender sitting on the tire zero gap in the front and about 3/4 in gap in the rear.

I'm not looking to utilize the full 3.5" drop on both. I currently live in pothole county, so probably a 1.8" - 2.5" would be the max.

Out of curiosity, how's the cornering? That's what I'm mostly interested in as far as how they may contribute to under/oversteer and also to grip due to lower height.

2.5 is pretty low for pot-hole country i THINK....

True that. I should have been more clear - I'm moving to Seattle soon, so I'm really only concerned that the max lowering range is between 1.8" to 2.5". 1.8" should be fine for this area (the potholes are more of a threat to my rims than anything else still), but I will probably want the ability to go down to 2.5" once I move.
