This was the rear gap, stock. Loose as my ex girlfriend, am I right?


Likewise for the front.


Gettin' her ready. This is my shop. We got these new 4 post lifts, they freakin' rule.


Nother shot. Got the sticker in a few days ago too.


Goldlines installed in the rear, bumpstop cut 1" in accordance with the instructions.


New rear wheel gap. Should drop a tad bit more once they get settled.


Rear gap again.


Startin' the front.


Dissembled strut assembly


All new shocks, I like 'em.


I'll get some better pictures next time I go do a real photoshoot.

The hardest part about the entire install was the jacking procedure for the rear. None of the 3 types of jacks I had did what I wanted them to do, so I ended up just using the lift to drop the car onto the jackstands.

First impressions on the ride home: I love them. Handling is incredible, and I was extremely happy with the ride quality, it's better than stock, no joke. Extremely pleased with the Goldline product, will recommend to anyone.

 

You used a lift to put it on jack stands :O. I love my lift at work!! lol. Looks nice though

 

next get some 225-45-r18 tires under there and ull love it even more..ull have a thick ass and a even smaller gap up front...Nice drop,lookin good

 

nice drop

 

does dropping these cars make them ride like ****? i drive a lot and i dont want something that rides like a frickin hay wagon...also does it make it impossible to pull in and out of places due to clearance issues? its already quite a bitch as it is

 

Ride quality is great. Better than stock. And unless you've got reeallly shitty streets, it won't be a problem. There's a few tricky steep parts around here that I have to navigate at an angle, but not worrisome enough to not drop it.

 

coilovers make everything feel like ****

 

nice--i'll check into these a bit more--i am dropped on Eibach Sportlines right now..and while i love the look, I hate the ride. I swear it feels like there are no shocks at all. Every little bump in the road is magnified 10x inside the cabin. Uneven road patches? Forget about it...that sends a bang through the car so loud you'd swear your engine just fell out. Plus, my exhaust scrapes on every speedbump in my apartment complex--exhaust keeps coming loose because the suspension's so tight. I"ll check back in 6 months after they settle and see how you like them. I'm considering going back to stock just for ride comfort, since it's my daily driver.

 

the drop is sexy..., I didn't know you had your own shop. Gotta get up there to see it sometime.

 

nice!

 

anyone know where i can get some of these? goldline went outta business.

 

Looks good man

 

Hey E did the instructions for the Goldlines say to cut the front bump stops?

 

Yeah, actually, they did, but I uh... forgot.

:p

To be honest, I've never bottomed out the fronts, and I've hit some pretty big obstacles, so I'm not worried about it.

They recommend 1 inch front and back, FYI.

 

Hey They call me E now since we have had meets up there before would u be willing to install my sportlines at your shop by any chance??

and where did you get these springs??
