better than eiback proline? anyone know?

I have being searches on the goldines and apparently a lot of people like them and I think the guy who makes them was a former employee of eibach. I'll probably be getting goldlines over eibach pro's if that helps any.

 

[goku4658]

why have you decided to go w/ them over the eibachs?

 

[chrisjw85]

Well to my knowledge I could be wrong but I believe the goldlines drop the car all round more than the eibachs do, and I haven't been too successful in finding any threads about the eibachs and how they ride and such. Not to mention their $50 cheaper. The eibach pros are a lil over 200 right?

i bought the same springs from chris have installed them, and love the drop, the ride is great and the car looks great me and slammedpro5 installed last week, post pics soon.

 

[DiscreetSpeed]

[Leonardo]

drop is supposed to be 1.8 inches all the way around. you can see pics here:

remember, these pics were taken just 2 days after install so they should settle even lower. it looks great and the handling is even better than before without the ride being much harder if at all. i am very pleased, these were a very good investment.

Sorry, what I meant was "What's the Goldline springs rate for the MSP?"

Thanks

They sucked on my fOCUS. I went to STEEDA springs. The Goldlines were too bouncy and rode rougher than the MUCH stiffer STEEDAs. My tires rubbed on big bumps with the Goldlines, but the other springs had the same drop, and no rub.

I'd spend the money on Eibachs...
