Default Goldline Spring Install!

Just went out to DB motorsports in Chino this morn to get my springs installed! They look Reeeallly sweet and it rides like a dream....almost like stock but a little smoother! I am really pleased with the ride, and the service from jody and mike out a DB. I recommend them to all. Jody was real cool, and let me take photos the whole way thru...he probably could have finished it in about an hour...if it weren't for our yappin mouths..LOL..but anyways the springs and the install are only 200$..a real bargain for this quality of spring and install! Check out the pics at my site...

Looks great! I'm gonna have to head out to DB and get some myself! Nice pics in the install section - i see your stock springs are black - mine are BLUE. Is that normal?

i think its better to have the rims first, cuz then you can judge how much you need to lower it, and if you will have enough room for the tires to clear. If you look on my site at some of the pics of it b 4, it had massive wheel gap, and those are 18's!., so i knew i had at least 2" of gap to get rid of. I probably could have lowered it more if i wanted. Just don't waste your money on the 1" drop. You wont be satisfied, you'll want more.

no, you shouldn't have any prob. since the stock tires are so small...theres a few guys in the club that have stocker wheels and have it dropped already.
