I talked to Goldline today and they are testfitting springs for the TC tomorrow and if all goes well they will have them done next month. They said it will be a 2" drop.

hmm, they told me if the springs fit tomorrow then it will go right to production and be ready in a month, but then again it could be longer.

Hey guys,

the test fitting will be done on my car tomorrow. I'm heading out to GoldLines Headquarter and putting the prototypes on. Yes it will be 2"drop all around...

I'll post some feedbacks tomorrow... it should be a great ride with aggressive look with the lower stance even with stock rims.

k guys...well today we did some test fitting on my TC. The springs lowered the vehicle very nicely all around... however GoldLine will be adjusting the springs to perfection with couple of more tests...tension, ride quality, etc.

The prototypes i have on right now are pretty comfortable (ride quality)... almost like stock.

for now...here's the pix of my tC with GoldLine prototypes springs.

I'd say that's about 2 inches. Looks just a little lower than the TRDs. I'm guessing you can't get any fingers between the tire and wheel well lip (the TRDs take the car from about 4 fingers stock to 1-1.5 after the springs.)

Wow, diffently a better drop the Trd. Looks more aggresive. Very nice.
Good to hear that the ride is close to stock.

the drop is actually 2" in the rear and about 1.75 in the front...

sorry i took the photo from a bad angle ... the shadow disguises the actual drop. You can fit about one finger in the rear and 1 and half in th front.

I'll keep you guys updated when the 2nd prototype is made and test fitted.

here are some pix i took @ home

hope they up the spring rates a little, i cant stand factory spring rates and cushy rides, just feels unresponsive

As of now... price and availability of the springs have not been released yet. Due to minor adjustments needed to the springs... to make it even better than it is right now. I've been driving around on the prototype...and overall feel is very nice and sporty. Although I have suggested that the springs need to be stiffened abit more...

Currently the ride is similar to stock with the Goldlines. Currently the rear is @ 2" drop and the front @ about 1.75" drop. Minor tweaks will be made within a week or two... the new prototype will be then test fitted again for final evaluation and possibly immediate production.

All I can say at this point is that the springs will be affordable with lifetime warranty as with all GoldLine Springs. And of course, ur tC will look awesome. I'm getting hit up by ppl asking about the prototypes already.
