Goldline springs compared to stock? (Size wise)

Moderators: I also posted on Suspension forum.. I need to get as much opinions as I can...



How do the goldlines match up, size wise, to the stock springs? Are they the same width? I know the height is different.. I guess I'm more intrested to know if they resemble more stock springs or your average narrow width coilover spring.

How do they ride with Koni Yellows? Bare with me guys.. I'm new to the Honda world.. BTW, I did search..I just want some answers directed related to my questions.. Thanks !!!!!

My Fiancee needs reassurance that her ride isn't going to bounce down the street. She wants to know how the springs compare in size.. Her philosophy is that if the springs are similar in size... they will ride similar..

She only has experience with R1 Coilovers and those were bouncy as hell.. and the springs were very narrow in size and dwarfed by the stocks..

There's the reason why......Coilovers=Bouncy.........Springs are a much better ride,,,and its not about diameter its about how their wound and their spring rates........Then theirs also shocks......Just read around the Suspen.Forum and do search on different springs....I'm sure you'll find everything your looking for......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Goldlines are the same width as stock. The front springs are a couple inches shorter than stock, the rear are about an inch shorter. They are progressive(you can really tell on the back springs). I put them on a week ago. Better ride than stock and the best drop I've seen. (one and a half finger gap front an d back w/205/40/17)
