I love my goldlines too. I think they do ride better than stock. Just watch out for a hole in the road cuz it will jar your head pretty bad. I've notice better handling too.

Wow. Very nice drop.

After seeing this, I'm kinda of undecided on wheter I should get some Eibach Sportlines or these Goldlines. Everybody has been raving about them. From what I understand, you're pretty much paying for the name for the Eibachs. Time to make a call to Rob@TornActive.

Damn Rider, your car looks tight with the custom paint and graphics, Im glad you like your ride, did you put any aftermarket shocks on it, or are you shocks still stock?

neuspeed and goldlines are similar in price, maybe like a $10 difference but ya eibachs are much more expensive, cheapest ive seen was 180. thats why i recommend neuspeed and goldlines over eibach.

Hey Rider, Just wondering if you are riding on blown factory shocks from your drop?

Got my Goldlines from Tornactive. Rob had a special a few months back for 115 shipped!!! So always check with him, he gives us deals all the time. I got my Goldlines and a full camber kit for 322. I dont think that was bad at all.

Now when you say they ride better than stock does it mean that they are more bumpy, or smoother?... How do goldlines compare to Neuspeed and Eibach?

i'm sorry but anyone that says lowering springs without aftermarket shocks ride better then stock is on crack. on smooth road yes its going to ride better then stock since your car doesnt lean forward/back as much when your accel/brake. but on badd road, the ride is going to suck, this is usually how springs are compared, not on smooth roads.
as for how do they compare with neuspeed and eibach, from what i hear they are just as good. i would recommend them over eibach because of the price. also, their customer service is absolutely the best.

I've still seen no proof that that is a safe drop. The shorter the springs, the less spring there is to absorb impact. I see no way that it can not be a harsh ride. Some other part of the car most be asorbing the impact. Goldlines may look good but I personally don't see a lot of performance. Sorry, I'm still with Eibach.

sorry but can you explain better? you dont make too much sense... what exactly is a "safe drop". also "The shorter the springs, the less spring there is to absorb impact" makes no sense at all... springs arent meant to absorb the impact, shocks/struts are. "I see no way that it can not be a harsh ride", how did you come up with that? how do you decide on a good ride, just by looking at the drop? do you even know the spring rate? "I personally don't see a lot of performance." how can you tell? "Sorry, I'm still with Eibach" what makes eibach better then goldline?
sorry it just seems like your only going based upon, "you get what you pay for" instead of facts/what people think. i also understand that goldlines name might not be nearly as big as eibachs but that doesnt mean there springs arent just as good.
