Goldlines Installed

[protegeV]

Man, these springs are awesome. Minus the trip to autozone and eating dinner in the middle, it took me about 2 and a half hours...That one person with air tools, and about 6 spring installs under my belt on different cars.

First of all ya gotta love how the springs match my car. Sadly the only way they'll ever be seen is if I do one of those fancy setups at a show where you take a wheel off.

Here's the stock front wheel gap.

And here's the final prodcut. I forgot to take a straight on shot for comparison to the stock gap, but you can see it is low, and they havent even settled yet!!!

damn, that stock gap was crucial! looks really good. i got some springs in the mail. i want to do it myself also, got any tips??

 

[Kooldino]

Is Goldline the company? What are the specs of the springs? Cost?

How does it effect wheel hop?

 

[fkmp5]

hey Ray the drop looks awesome!!

 

[srtchick]

very nice! gonna order a set of these springs this week ( from Chris @ SPD Racing)heard nothing but good about them.

 

[slamdp5]

They are some damn good springs.(2thumbs)

its a tiny bit stiffer than stock, but in turns it handles REAL nice. I believe this is because they have a progressive springs rate.

Goldline is the company. Supposedly a former engineer from Eibach owns it.

I believe Chris said they are progressive, but he didnt give the variable rates that prog. springs usually have.
He said 150front/140rear

cost is $140 shipped from Chris @SPD racing.

I dunno about wheel hop...havent tried peeling out yet...Then again I dont remember any wheel hop on stock suspension..Not like P5s have enough power to do that (lol)

 

[jflo]

nice ! i'm hoping i can get those soon

 

[FC3s Boy]

looks nice, wheel hop is reduced with the stiffer springs- chris

that's good to know for the future.

Chris, for the record, are these springs progressive or not. I remember you saying they are but you only gave one set of spring rates(dunno)

u can tell they ar eprogressive by the fact that the coils get "progressively" closer together as it ends on the top of the spring....the rates he gave u were probably the max rate they push fully compressed

Thanks Dr. Suspension

I guess the stock springs must be REALLY progressive because the top 3 coils are practically touching eachother.

looks awesome ray...keep up the good work...

 

[protegeV]

thanks Bro. Im extremely pleased with how things are coming along...Unfortunately My bank account is not so pleased (laugh) But it'll survive.
