Spring Install (pics) 56k BEWARE!

I bought a set of Goldline springs off of Eurocivic for $50. He had just gotten the
Neuspeed ones because the Goldlines weren't as low as
he wanted. I got them from him last night, and called
into work today and had a local performance shop install them for
$60. They ride sweet, I'm real happy. Here are some
pics (don't mind the ghetto measuring tape):

Front stock- about 2.25 inches from top of tire to
fender.


Front lowered- down to about .5 inches, difference
about 1.75 inches.


Back stock- 2.5 inches


Back dropped- less than .5 inch, difference of about 2
inches


Here's a few more pics:

Thanks y'all!

MMV- your right, 17's in about 2 weeks.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

spider- still have stock struts, we'll see how that goes.

Grey- stop dissing my measuring tape! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Jockij- I had never heard of Goldlines either, but there have been no pops or noises, and I drove them to hell today.

I've heard nothing but praise about the ride on Goldlines. I'm looking to get them myself in the next couple of months. If I can, I'll be replacing shocks, springs, and rims all at once, plus camber kit. Wish me luck!

Pann Auto is the shop that did it for $60- they also did most of the work on that gold CRX that was on the cover of Import Tuner last month. You should see the car they are working on for next month for that mag...

Wait, so how much was dropped on the Front and Rear? I want to lower my car too and made a thread to talk about this.

Many have said: drop 2 inches. Bimmer style.

What do u think?
