Ok my questions to everyone is I want to get a new suspension......I want to go pretty low but not soo low I can't drive it daily because it is my daily driver and I also have a family I need to contend with....I had goldline springs on my other box and loved them......but I might want to try different springs if I can be convinced that they are better than goldlines(drop and ride quality).......I am thinking of going with goldline springs or tanabe???I also want to change my struts out what part number for the monroe stuts do I need????? I also want to change my rear shocks out ...again what part number do I need for the new shocks????By the way I have an 06 XB......The other way I have been considering is buying the progress coilover system.......I want a sporty yet comfortable ride....I know I'm asking for the best of both worlds but I think if I do my research with people who actually have this equipment I can make a smart decision so please feel free to give me all your input good or bad....thanks in advance Rich

 

I would highly recommend Eibach Sportlines for springs. I love them and the ride is awesome. They are a little more of a progressive spring then Goldlines. The eibach's dropped mine about 2-1/8 to 2-1/4 once they settled. I drive my box daily and haven't had any trouble with them at all.

my rear shocks I changed to Monroe 5987. As for the front struts.....that one I am not sure of because I haven't changed those out yet.

I myself have been looking into coilovers and one day I would like to get them as well. I've been considering Ksport, Cusco, Progress..... the nice thing is they all are roughly around a 1 to 4 inch adjustable drop. but for price and over all quality I'm leaning towards Ksports.

heres a pic of the stance of my box...

 

very nice thanks for your input.......anyone else ????help me please

 

The hotchkis springs are pretty good to. My friend Lance (dougalast) had them for a long time. I also have a friend that has goldlines and the to of them got together to compare ride and such. The goldline were a hair lower than the Hotchkis but the hotchkis springs had a better ride. Both were on stock struts as well.

 

Anyone have any more input????????

 

Im wondering where is everyone getting the Monroe 5987's?
I called Sears and a few other places and they couldnt locate them by that part number or by make/model.

 

I have the koni rear shocks and monroe struts with tanabe nf210's and the ride and handling is great.

 

All the feedback that we've gotten over the last couple of years tells us that the Hotchkis Springs give you the best ride and a good drop. Here's a link: http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...1&parts_id=477

Like I said I have to either go with the goldlines or the tanabes.....I really like the goldlines but they were a bit hard........I'm thinking the reason it was riding a bit hard was because of the stock shocks and struts..
