which ones are better? Goldline, Eibach, or Teins?

Well, what are you looking for out of your springs?

Do you want the front lower than the rear?

Do you want an even ride height?

Do you want them stiffer or softer?

Do you want them linear or progressive?

Do you want them in yellow, green, or red?

Do you want them with little rubber protector thingies?

Do you want them for cheap, medium, or expensive?

The list could go on.

according to that page I need a Gold Line cam kits: 81250 (-1.75 to +1.75) EZ Cam to get proper alignment. I guess this question is to all you guys that have the Gold Lines installed. Did you get your car aligned within specs without the EZ Cam or would I better off with this part? If so, how much do they cost?

Thanks in advance.
 
I read somewhere that goldline springs and eibach springs are basically the same design. Something about eibachs engineer quitting and starting goldline.. or working for them. That was months ago, and im probably wrong... however you cant beat the price of the goldlines, and they are very nice.

I'll be wanting them for xmas. ;)

thats terrible
 
i know his had the skunk2 coilovers for a while now so im gonna buy his springs. btw skunk2s suck ass
 
I ordered Goldline last week for my car.... I'll get a feel for them and post what I think here with some pics.
 
I think I want the Tein's if for no other reason than they lower the front more than the back, and with 100lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk it should level out nicely.
 
MSP with subs in the back goldlines are the only ones i have seen that lower the rear enough

I have goldlines on my car and I love them. Rides pretty much like stock and handles pretty well too. Here are some pics. The didfferent size tires give it a different look.

I got the wheels and tires for basically free from a friend and those were the tires on there. They need to be replaced badly and im going to get a larger size when i replace them. I figured i would just post the pic to show how it looks like it has different gaps with different tire size...I'm running the stock wheels with the 225/45's now
 
the wheels look sweet, but the 225 tires look alot better than those little tires. I would just switch the tires from the stock wheels to the new ones. But I like what you've done to the car. I need to finish getting my car running strong, then I'll start making it look pretty with carbon and toys like that.
