as for spohn i wouldnt know
ive had no problem with SLP either even though some ppl have their horror stories with them,
Do a search at LS1.com, LS1tech.com and maybe this site about BMR failures/problems.
Or ask about them at the F-body Road racing, auto-x forum.
BMR does fine for daily use, but won't hold up to much corner carving.

LG Motorsports by far the best.
I had BMR and switched to LG G2 stuff after the BMR stuff failed doing road course duty.

What do you guys think of this Quote I got from a local speed shop.
Golden West SFC $188
Labor SFC Install $392
Welding $15
Hotchkis Springs $215
Bilstein shocks $450
Labor & Align $450
Freight $13
Total approx $1800
I should just do the shocks and springs myself.

First... I think you mean "Global West".....
Second, who gave you that quote.... Mr. Greedwrench or Ben Dover? $392 for SFC install? Plus welding? Never heard of anything quite that obscene. $100 max, unless there's some exotic design to the Global's that I'm not aware of.
I did my own shocks and springs.... so that's $450 in my pocket. I would allow no more the 3 hours for both fronts, 1 hour max for the rears, 4 hr total at $75 = $300. Alignment was $65. So I'd say for a "pro" he's at least $100 high on the spring/shock install.

INJ:
no kidding, that quote was pretty nasty. $400 for installing SFC's...you have got to be kidding me. So around $100 bucks is average. I've heard anywhere from $100-200. Anyhow, I plan on doing the shocks and springs myself as soon as I get an extra set of hands. I was curious to what they would charge me. As for the SFC's...I kinda wanted a shop to do it but it looks like I may have to find someone to do it. I just dont want some nimrod mis-aligning my body and have my car crooked. Oh, thanks for correcting my golden to global..darn bbq last night...hangeover...

ok, so:
BMR good for straight line, bad for heavy corners?
LG good for corners bad for straight line?
Where do others fit here, I plan on getting some SFCs soon, doing my homework now
