I was thinking about lowering my xB on goldlines. Do I need anything else like a camber kit? Or can I just get it aligned w/ no porblems? I know I could always upgrade my struts but the stockers only have 200 miles on them so Ill just kill those first. Thanks

you only need the springs. the goldlines are a good choice. probably the best bang for the buck.

If yougot goldlines, Randode How to, then a jack, jack stand some wrenches a rachet and sockets and about 1 hour and it done, no camber kit, no alignment and you will sell the car before the shock struts wear out. be sure to cut your rubber snubber 1". The snubber are on top of the strut and look like a top hat. Thats all you need

Bill, I read somewhere in this forum if I cut the snubber all the way, will get better ride, is this true? Sean

What's needed to lower your xB?

Best and easiest way is to take the air out of your tires. J/K :lol:

I have Goldlines and I love them. You'll love them too!

Sean, that is a good question. no, cut then 2 inches max, i cut mine 1 1\2 inches helps the ride quite a bit. It is like hard foam, I used a filet knife to cut them. Bill

You'll also need a torque wrench and the torque specs for all the bolts/nuts.

Speaking of which, anyone have the specs? I'm gonna be needing them soon. :)

I installed the Tein H series and didnt cut my bump stops either. I have never bottom out. One good thing about the H series, they dont slame your ride to the ground. Dont believe me, take a look at my pics in my sig.
