i wanna know the cons..
i hear spy this.. tanabe that.. eibach that..
well i like spys.. but goldlines are cheaper..
and everyone "claims" they're smoother than ___..
so how does it ride? im aware tanabe's a lil bouncy..
and spy's are a lil higher in front..(my car is on tanabes)
and my buddy's car is on spy's...

lets here all u LOVE AND HATE GOLDLINES..
tell me the good and bad..
NO SAG policy.. wahtever..
i just wanna know how they'll look if i roll on 18's..
i wanna go DF210, but if its bouncy. forget it..
ir ather be 1/4~1/3" higehr and smooth than to
have it bouncy.. i noticed my tanabes are bouncier
than stock.. anywhos.. bring it on =)

Do you remember that page in all the import mags with the LO BOYZ advertisements?

Yea...that's the one.

Spy runs very smooth and has a nice drop.

who cares... buy what you like!!! j/k i have heard everything about all springs. you can't say one is better than another(popular companies, not cheap ___ springs)

everybody claims that their springs is the best....
theres no way to compare by hearing their opinions unless u try all of them...

:cry:

Next meet, ask everyone to give you a ride.

and no, not that kinda ride.

I'm going with the Tein coilover setup. The best by far :twisted: .

i love my goldlines....as anyone who has them will tell you...they are only 200 bucks installed, and are made by some of the techs from eibach...they are perfectly even in the front and back, and ride alot smoother than stock...they are a bright yellow color, which is cool cuz u can see them thru the rims...i'm running 18's with 225 35 18 tires...luv it luv it luv it :wink:

My wife and I commute together and she sleeps on the way to work and home. She said she could feel the difference cuz she sleeps better. Bruce ( Yanges ) also came to the shop and took a drive in my car and you can ask him! He hasn't got any springs yet but since he rode in it, you would get a non-biased answer. :D

Nobody's ridden in both a car with spys and a car with goldlines yet?

have gold lines too....good spring, nice ride, smoother than stock and if you wanna ride to check them out...at a meet it's cool with me.

spy's are just a little bit stiffer than goldlines. the goldlines are smooth as a hairy babies bottom but not as hairy as the spy baby...and yes, i have riden in both

there you go, a professional opinion....you can tell by his picture above :mrgreen:

seriously though, as dsidescion mentioned above, i did ride in his xB w/ Goldline's and it rode very nice! felt pretty close to stock to me and the drop looks great!

and subcode, i can not believe you have not gotten your $42 back yet....on second thought, i can as i just got my license plates after 4 months....

but if i had Munch's money, i would go with the Tein's...just make sure to get the ones with the remote for adjusting the dampening!

what i wanna do is.. goto a tsw meetup.
ride in goldlines, then spys, then df210s..
but will going around the parking lot be enuff of
a test?
i should bring the digital camera... i have a mount that
will fit on the headrest. and just have it record while the
car goes around the lot..

then i'll hop into another car.. make themt ake the same route..
and watch how the bumpyness of each spring affects the camera..
my digital camera has no "ANTISHOCK" feature.. so every bump
will be recorded... anybody with other suggestions??

right now i want DF210 cuz of the drop(i like it) but im scared its gonna be
too bumpy for my liking.. i dont wanna make a 200 dollar mistake...
as for goldlines vs spy.. im not concerned about price. im concerned to
which one is better?

We, the Sin City Scions(not official name,I made it up) have made a group buy with goldline, they gave us great price and i plan on selling them on my web site. People I have talked to said they were smooth. We plan to have a lowering day soon. Bill

ya it's all subjective - i've ridden in cars with the spy springs on the freeway, and in my car that has the tanabe's - i personally like the ride of the tanabes better - it's a bit softer, and while there is some "bounce" to the ride, the spy's felt very stiff and jarring to me, kinda like the stock suspension.

best bet is go the meeting, and have someone give you a quick ride on the freeway, and try out the different springs, and see how you feel

i know you'll be able to cop a ride on at least the tanabes, spy, eibachs and probably the goldlines also tomorrow night - should help your decision making process :)

let us kno your decision after trying all the springs..thanks :lol:

im going to bring a digicam,
my mount, and myself to
this sunday's meet if i can make it in time..
sundays = family day for me.. =/

i'mma try since im looking for new springs.

here a basic comparison of height of Goldline's vs. stock:

that is Randy's xB w/ Goldline's on it from over at darksidemotoring.com and my stock height Polar xB...

check out the bumper & hood height and the gap over the tire....

i think i may go with the Goldline's after all.... 8)

What size of rim & tire is Randy riding on. They Look like 18's on 35's

sorry, left that out.....

Randy is on 215/35/18's and i am on 215/40/17's...

both are very close to the height of a stock wheel/tire....

ok this is the plan..
im going to TRY my best and come tomorrow..
i wanna ride in a goldline on 18"
a df210 on 18" and a spy on 18"
all one after another... and i'll take pix of wheel gap

i need volenteers

I got goldlines on my xA..... and I love them. the ride is excellent, MUCH better than stock. I haven't tried other springs so I can't compare them with other springs, but I like what I got and the only problem is the typical one that comes with a lowered car. SCRAPING of my mud guards, but I can live with that.

so i rode in besk one's df210 xb..
i have nf210 on my car..
his car doesn't feel any more bouncy or
stiffer than mine.. not by much at least..
we're both on stocks. so its a fair comparison.

i've decided i'm leaning towards df210..
im getting a price check tomorrow and then i'll see
where that takes me. as for spy's.. and goldlines..

most goldline people are NOR CAL. i didn't see a single goldline
at tsw's meet tonite... and everyone has spy's...
i figure i can be .25" lower and it'll look a lil different.. haha and
since regular price at 178 shipped(optionsalon) its a better
deal and buy than spy's.. can;t beat that.

ps.. thank u besk for taking me around the block

there are 2 guys that I know but they weren't there

I rode in besks car along with hahajoey and i must say,
I really enjoyed the ride. It was smooth as hell,
not bouncy at all. And I don't think hahajoey wanted to say anything
after he found out it was besks car but his ride with the SPFR intake
made me remember how much pep is actually in these cars.
He fukn rides smooth and fast. It would've been funny if both besk one
and Jon were in the car tho.

Nice to finally meet hahajoey...thanx for the ride Brian

its like dejavu...

Just got back from getting my goldlines installed at DB Motorsports in Chino. Jody is too cool and did it in less than an hour!!!!! I can't seem to wipe the grin off my face!!! IMO you can't go wrong having Jody install the goldlines. Can't say enough good things about my experience today!!!

its nice huh? they're smooth as hell

its nice huh? they're smooth as hell

Getting ready to leave work in a few. North bound Azusa from Gale Ave to Temple is usually pretty bumpy. This will be a good test for the goldlines!!!

Well the ride home was just fine. The goldlines seem to smooth out the bumps a little bit but not a major difference. I am very happy with my new springs and now have to start saving for some decent shoes!!!!

Jody is the only guy their that does springs, and he is the best. He will shock you in his ability to do both rear springs in under five minutes!!!
A bit of advise, call ahead for an appointment. I overheard him tell a guy he was booked solid this week. I myself called last week to get todays appt. The wait is more than worth it (kinda builds up some anticipation). Once you show up he'll have ya outta there in an hour.
Just do it!!!! You will not regret it!!!!!
BTW, the cost is still $199.99 + tax!!!!!! :D :D

Sorry guys..i've been MIA due to cold...partying late night outside in the cold on New Year's Eve wasn't such a great idea...although i had alot of fun...haha

I'll be there next sunday...hopefully i'll be alot better by then.

man..this cold/flu thing sux..missed work today too. argh.

There you are, was wondering when you would have some input on this thread.

Just so you know, you were my inspiration for going for the gold-lines!!! And yes I did some name dropping "Alex".

Sorry your sick, but it could always be worse...... imagine not having a BlueBox waiting patiently for your recovery!!! Scary huh!! :D

Guy

i pretty much decided i wanna get the tananbe's.. i want that little .25" lower
thing. i rahter have that then goldlines. as for price.
everyone says.. 178 shipped from optionsalon anytime
im looking for a deal. as soon as i get the deal its mine =)

That silver xb on Tanabes looked bouncy....What color are the tanabes? The D's...

i am available this saturday if you need springs installed. takes 35-40 minutes.

i would like to see what happens with sag. it something that you won't see right away, but could happen later.

haha..thx guy. i'm still recovery ... i'm about 75% healthy. i gotta talk to Goldline about making some springs for the upcoming TC...it might be a good seller...but at $20,000 ...i'm not fully confident although it's a good price for the car...there are alot of other choices of vehicles out there for $20,000. time will tell..haha
i wouldn't mind getting the TC myself...but i rather opt for the solara at $20,000. i saw the new solara with the sport edition package lowered with 19inch rims..omg..it was sick. looked like the lexus SC430 dropped...

n e ways... ne one interested in my BlueBox? haha...maybe i'll sell it....
