Question Springs?

Ok, I got my refund money and I'm getting new wheels (Konig Tantrums) so I need to drop it. I'd like 1.5 all around and was thinking about the Goldline but I don't know. Can anyone tell me if they're any good?

Also, I was thinking of getting the upper strut bar from Tornactive, any input on that?

I'm also getting the camber kits, are they hard to install? I'm pretty mecanicly inclined so I don't think I'll have a problem as long as they have good instructions. It's my first time messing with my suspension so I'm probably making a bigger deal than I should. I'm gonna look in the DIY section for any help as well. I just wanted some input from people who have done it b4.

Thanx.

EDIT: BTW, I was going to buy them from Rob at Tornactive unless someone knows a cheaper place. Any suggestions?

Goldlines are good but i prefer neuspeeds..
they had a group buy on goldlines for $99 shipped, not sure if it's still good tho.
which upper strut bar? i recommend neuspeed as well. looks like a nice solid design compared to DC
Camber kit should be easy to install. for spring install, i'm tryna get my detailed DIY back up..

goldlines will be too much of a drop for you if you only want to go 1.5. The neuspeeds will work fine. Get the neuspeed front upper strut bar, it has to be one of the best. The camber kit shouldn't be a prob.

PS in case you haven't notice vnlilman LOVES neuspeed suspension!! hehe

Thanx for the info. Where is the cheapest place to get the neuspeeds?

EDIT: Should I get shocks and struts as well?

I still have my DIY for springs saved, I'll post it in a few if you want to use it.

As far as springs, gold lines are good, but if you don't want more than a 1.5, stay away from them. I have the neuspeed strut bar and I think it's great. It is one solid piece and it has no hinges so it's really stiff and it doesn't give at all. Camber kits are a snap to install. Tornactive is a good shop, Rob's a good guy and they do good business, in fact, I've bought all of my suspension parts from him.

Shocks/struts? Not necessary unless you have the cash to spend, with that you can get tein's which would be a really nice setup. Adjustable spring height with built in shocks, best way to go imo.

SDE is an unknown quantity at this point
When I ordered my neuspeed race springs on ebay last week they had both the Neuspeed Race & Neuspeed Sport for like $125.00 (Buy It Now) + $20 Bucks shipping. I'm not sure if there is going to be another auction like that but where there's one, there's many. So check ebay first, I think MSRP for the springs is like $225.00 +.

Are you talking about the Neuspeeds? I decided to go for those and the upper sway bar they make. Do you need to repossition the cluth cylinder? I think I heard something about lowering it so you can install the sway bar.
