thinking about droping my xb about 2" with the goldines will like to know if anyone has the goldlines on there xb and if how was the alignment...

 

I have Goldline's. You dont need an alignment, it is not necessary.

 

no problems....

 

Some will say you need an alignment, some say you don't.

Anytime you lower a car, whether its an inch , 2 inches, or more, the toe will be affected.

Everytime I do any suspension work, or get a new set of tires/wheels, I get an alignment. Why? I much prefer paying $40-60 for a 4 wheel alignmentnow, than $200+ for tires a few months down the road due to excessive wear.

 

mooooved!

I lowered my xA on Eibach pro kit springs. I didn't get an alignment yet because I want to rip my tires apart so I can get better ones... with rims :D

 

I was like that when I was on the wait for my rims to come

Nothing like the sound of tires screaming for grip after downshifting from 3-2

 

I lowered mine 2" with tom's and i don't know if it's the coil springs but my ride is a bit bumpy. i've ridden in my friend's xb with goldline coil springs 2" drop and the ride was smoother. do i need to maybe get shocks and struts?

 

going lower then 1.5" or even 1" will make it more difficult to adjust the settings for a proper alignment. it will take them longer to dial it in, but it could take a couple tries before it is right. you NEED an alignment. i lowered my xB on goldlines a while back and the alignment was off.

 

mine was aligned a couple of times since lowering 2.5 on tanabe sustecs.. i plan on lots of camber soon, so i'll probably be back at the damn shop sooner than later..

 

haven't had any probs with mine and I didn't align after dropping on GoldLines. perfect tire wear so far - probably about 15k or more since then.

From what I hear, there's very little adjustment available anyway...

 

Randode/Randy did my spiring install today and driving back to Tucson the ride was smoother on bumps than the ride to Surprise was...

There was no drifting when I let go of the wheel @ 85 mph!

Thanks Randy!

 

OK, wheres the best place to buy Goldlines? I gotta stuff my 18's. I'm starting to fell like I'm back in my Tahoe.

Good prices and great service.

 

Same here and I had goldlines and now I am on RS*Rs. I did the install on scionic man's ride and did my own. I also have perfect tire wear. :D

 

Ok after hours of searhcing for goldlines and noone having them in stock.. i've decided to get the tanabe df210's.. but there frt drop is 2.2 and rear 2.0... is 2.2 too much for a 18 inch tire on 215/35/18's? or a 225/35/18?

alos going to order the camber kit from ptuning. is there camber issues with these springs?

anyone have pics of tanabes on 18's?

Thats where I'm getting mine next week.

 

they are out of stock. till 1st week of feb.

 

Damn
Actually, thats only 1 or 2 weeks. I can wait that long for a good deal.

 

i finally got my goldlines springs on and i was very impress with these springs the ride was better than the stock springs and not only that the mechanic that put them on told me that i don't need an alignment i even took the car on the expressway and drove it about 70 mph and it didn't drift the ride was smooth i think goldlines is the best was to go also the look was just what i was looking for the fender was about 1/2 inch from the tire 215/35/18 nankane you can get the goldlines spring for $147.00 at nlmotoring.com the shipping is way faster than most of the other guys out there..

 

second that installed mines the other day, and there is less steering wheel shake with the springs on than stock........i thought id need an alignment fo sho though......guess not......
