I have had my goldlines installed in my coupe for about 2 weeks now and they should be pretty well settled, but the ride is not good. i have taken off the bump stops but then it made weird clicking noises so i reinstalled them, with the bump stops off, its descently comfortable, but i'm looking at buying eibach pro-kit springs to replace them. on my goldlines i ended up getting about almost a 2" drop in the front and 1.25" in the back.

how do the rest of ya'll feel about the actual comfort of your ride on ya'lls lowering springs?

it depends on the person. some say it rides better then stock(n i feel those people are smoking something) and others say its horrible. removing/putting the bumpstop isnt going to have any effect on how the ride is. i doubt its the cause of the clicking noise as well, although i can be wrong on that... "i'm looking at buying eibach pro-kit springs to replace them" why??? just ask yourself why did you lower your car in the first place? if you were going for looks, the prokit would defeat your purpose. even with the prokit, it probably wont ride too good. whats going to make a big difference is aftermarket shocks.

the bumpstops being removed helped the ride b/c the front lowered so much that its riding the bump stops and i'm not really sure where the clicking is coming from, it's hard to say. i really want to keep good comfort (or atleast pretty good) but lower it just a lil bit, thats why i was thinking about the pro kit.

it rides on the bumpstop? so if you lean on the car it wont go any lower? even the prokit might give you a rough ride.. its all in the shocks...

my prokits ride firm, but not harsh. big improvement in steering response

that's correct on the bump stops, with them installed, it doesn't move at all

is it still a comfortable ride? what drop did it actually set at?

just remember what i said earlier "it depends on the person." most people with goldlines say it rides good enough but you think it doesn't. its all a matter of preference i guess. of course prokit is going to give you a better ride then goldlines since the drop isnt as low but ya its also not going to give you a lowered look. maybe the prokit would ride nice for you but you will also be raising your car(which i know if i was in your shoes i wouldnt like since i would used to the goldline drop). i'm just saying if you want comfort, dont change the ride height, change the damper settings. otherwise why even lower your car at all, might as well keep it stock. i guess this is cause i prefer the slammed look tho.

the cliking noise will be answered by this link knocking link

I have eibach sportlines good ride sits low

the noise wasn't when i turn, it actually did that too, but it was fixed, it a noise that anytime i go over a bump it makes a click, probably at all speeds, but i can only hear it going semi-slow.
