Default Tein or gold-lines?

I'm torn between tein and gold-lines. I believe they are around the same price, and I would be going with s-techs.
pics on stock wheels would be a great help...

I've jumped on the TEIN bandwagon.
Just ordered my S-Techs a few days ago.

I just did GoldLines and 17" this last Sunday (in the cold no less).



I can't speak for the Tiens, but for sure the GoldLine are softer then stock ride.
My box doesn't porpoise as much, and glides better over rougher roads. Granted,
I did go 45 series tires to help protect my rims from potholes, but the springs made
a big difference.

(Note- So THATS where the caps lock is!!)

Lonely Raven, that looks great. A precisionmuffler.com axle back would look great with that drop too! :D

I have the Tein S-Techs. I think they are are rated at lowering the car 1.7", but after settling, it's more like 2". The ride is stiff, but along withthe wider tires, (205 as opposed to 185 stock), the Box definitely handles better.

either of the two will do. I suggest looking at private party classified first to get some deal.
I went with s-tech cause i found it cheaper than goldlines at that time.the drop is good with my wheel set-up 215/45/17.
