i only drove the car about 4 miles
and there was not alot of bumps
but i did notice that it rides better
the stock spring felt like it had too much play and it would bounce the car too much
the gold line limits the "height" of the bounce more controlled?

Default SO Dj: Update?

DJ:

After a couple of weeks, how are you enjoying the Goldlines?

I think these might be the way to go, but would be interested in seeing where you end up heightwise.

better handling

yeah, had an MGB lowered almost 3.5" in the front and 2.5" in the rear with 1" ground clearance, Had a freind with a MAzda with 1/4" ground clearance, and currently have a 97 turbo Talon NOT lowered. IF had some kidney busters and some nice riding vehicles. Want a nice riding vehicle!

I like a firm yet supple ride. Firm and well damped in rebound and after the first 1/4 - 1/2" in compressionLook forward to seeing how much lower it winds up. The 1" was almost perfect. Hopefully they wind up not too much lower.

SO what? I don't care how LOW they look. I care about how they perform. If I just wanted to look low, I'd take the springs out and ride on the bumpstops.

I used to tuck lugs on a 74 mgb, with 185/60 R14s in the Front and 185 75 r14 in the back.
Total drop was about 3.5" up front and at least 2.5 or more in the back. I wasn't using Teins either.

Seriously, what do teins have to do with this thread?

Find a tein springs or comparison thread. Neither I nor anyone else asked for your opinion IN THIS THREAD. You are post whoring.

We should all just learn from his expertise. If he bought 'em, they must be the best. What do we know?

I just got my goldlines on this weekend and love them so far. It seems like you can feel the road more, not in a bad way. It's amazing how two inchess can make everything seem lower.

I was worried about the driveway cuz the curb drop is really sharp and everything scrapes. Coming back from dinner last nightt with the family and it totally scraped up the driveway. My wife says" Well, I guess we can get the driveway done now..." Something she's wanted to do for 2 years. I'm ready now!

Thanks Bill and Gabe. Taking the back road to Walnut Creek this morning. Should be a good test... :twisted:

Yes, I listed that as a benefit of the Goldlines as well. It was just a little hard to reach the center rear of the roof, now its no sweat. That's one of the things I liked about the Echo, you could wash 1/2 of it without moving your feet...
