Rep Power: 271 I've never heard anything bad about the goldlines, and lots of people have um but other than that. ..just remember the difference between 1.7" and 1.3" is like 3/8's of an inch and will not be noticable

What springs should I get, and how low should i go? 2" drop? Would 1.5" be enough?

Rep Power: 309 the lower you go, the stiffer the spring rates on those after market springs NEED TO BE. otherwise you will always bottom out and blow the hell outta the shocks.

after going to 18" and changing to tokico's everything was much better before it was just too low and sucked for ride quality
