i have the same problem...still not sure what it is, but Jeff from Goldline mailed me a set of sedan springs which have a higher spring rate and he said it should sit even...some peoples look amazing and us have problems so...don't know, i havent got them yet but it should be here in a week or so.

check out the pix i posted and the email i got from goldline if you havent already

isn't the front supposed to ride lower than the back anyway? like 1.75 front 1.5 back? and if you just installed them, the springs in the front settle much quicker than the back ones because the engine weighs more.. i didn't have the problem cause i just got my 320lb friend to sit in the back for a couple hours [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

dragoon your wrong, the 1.75 front and 1.5 rear doesnt mean rear should sit lower, means front should sit lower, the rear automatically sits higher from manuf. they do this in the event to even out the drop, if it was 1.75 drop all around i think the a$$ would sag bad?? am i correct[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

2 fingers in front 1 in back not big of a deal for me
but it might be couse my subs and amp in the trunk.

Listen people the Gold-Line springs come with a no sag guarentee. All you people who complain about sagging, uhh lets see it might be because you have speakers in your trunk. I have nothing in my trunk and on even ground, my car sits even eith a 1.75 all the way around and Koni's for the rear. The Gold-Line sticker should face up.

The reason for the difference in fender well gaps front to rear is simply due to the fact that the fender wells are cut higher in the front than in the rear. This is done due to the fact that the front wheels/tires rotate and therefore need additional clearance. We would have to lower the front of the vehicle considerably more to establish an even gap.

Some people however, do want the rake front to rear and that's understandable. We just design those coils to lower the vehicle evenly. Thusly, giving the "appearance" of the rear being lower than the front. Disregard the fender well gaps and you will notice that the vehicle sits quite level.

I took out my subs and amp and it still sagged...but i'm still in the midst of hopefully getting replacement springs from Goldine...

the rear is deffinetly closer to tires than the front but it does look nice still there is no gap in the rear on mine and the front abour 1.5" we got a lifetime warrantee on it so nothing to worry about.

the car looks even on the floor tho i think its the fender thing that goldline was talking about is acurance because the car isn't no no angle for sure.

eh.. he might be right. i have a 1 finger gap all around.. if you measure the ground clearance however, the front is an 1" lower then the rear. so i guess if you want an even fender gap go with neuspeed, if you want an even ground clearance go with goldline.

GOLDLINE, you probably dont remember but we had a discussion last time about the spring rates being 300lbs which means for every 300lbs, it compresses 1". but since we have 4 springs, this would mean that the weight is distributed right(it might not be evenly distributed but it still is). so now that we have this info, having a 200 lb system(which is fairly heavy for a system) isnt going to lower the car .6" but only around .25" cause the weight is mainly distibuted among the rear springs.(the .05" would be what the front springs might be "holdling")
