Default Hey xB owners with Goldlines installed...

I'm thinking about buying the Goldlines for my Box since they lower the car nicely but I have a few questions...

1 - Will I need to replace the stock struts & shocks with the TRD ones?

2 - Will I need to install a camber kit?

3 - What will the ground clearance be after the Goldlines are installed?


Thanks for any and all comments & suggestions... :D

no no and the clearance is fine. I have never bottomed out. I have Goldline 2" springs. Make sure you trim your front bumpstop located inside the front strut. I also have Hotchkis swaybars front and rear.

1. No on replacing stock shocks and struts
2. No on camber kit
3. Depends on rim and tire size but you will have plenty of clearance.

I have 17x7's with the Gold-Line drop, here's a pic for you:

Before 2" drop:


After 2" drop:

By the way, I love the way the Gold-Lines ride, good choice. Good luck, hope this helps...

Hey Yelosub, what did you pay for the Goldlines and where do you recommend I should buy them "cheap"?

Luckily in Arizona we have Randode, he does a majority of the installs here. He charged $150 for the springs and $50 for the install. God bless Randy (Randode)

In the sponsored section, there is a guy selling them for $145, with about a $15 shipping charge. After CA tax I am getting mine shipped for $171.

WHU...?!? Only fiddy for the install? You AZ types are lucky! No one in SF quotes me less than 4 hundo (!!!) for install. Maybe we'll road trip to the Grand Canyon this Summer...
