 I see alot of people talking about tein & trd springs but what about goldline springs? I have 18-s and I wanted to drop my car but wasnt sure what brand to go with. I decided goldline cuz they have a 2-drop all around and they have a lifetime warranty so let me know if I made the wrong choice. I havent installed them yet but does anybody know if i-ll need a camber kit?HOPEFULLY NOT!!! BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW CUZ I NEED SOME EXPERTISE ON THIS CUZ I DONT KNOW CRAP ABOUT DROPPING CARS. THX!!!!

 The vehicles I have seen with goldlines all seem to be dropped to much in the rear compared to the front. Example the front tires were not tucked under the fender but the rear were. That is just not my cup of tea.

 I have the tien s and you could go without a camber kit in the rear but I am going to get a set for my car.

 Once again thx. I like how they look the only thing is that I already ordered the goldline so I guess I-ll have to see how they look. Maybe I could call and have them switch my order .......do you know anyone that has pics w/goldline springs?

Here are your requested pics of the goldline springs notice the lower stance of the rear fender wells covering the tire more than the front is doing.

 The rim will just look a little more tucked in to the fender well in the rear.As for my avitar I just used an HP camera 2.5 mega pixels and used windows paint and went and shunk the size using stretch/skew I went by shrinking by 50% till I got the size I needed of 100x100 pixel or less.

 Thx man. Everybody loves it over here. My boy that put the springs on said it came out perfect cuz the back doesnt sit lower. The ride still feels the same the only thing my tires are leaning in a little so i gotta take care of that cuz thats gonna mess my tires up. I went to the dealership and they told me that the rears can be adjusted but I have to let them do an alignment and they would take care of it but I wasnt sure if he knew what he was talking about. Any suggestion???? :? I-m gonna take pics tomorrow then post them so you can see it better(this one is from my cell phone ) Your car sits right. I wanna see it when you put those rims on it. Plus i gotta ask.....how did you make your interior lights blue?? I changed the little storage light behind the shifter to blue and I-m also trying to find someone to change my gauges blue. Oh and do sway bars really make a difference?

 I would have had the same lean but I purchased the H&R camber bolt kit for the front and the Hotchkis adjustable rear link bar. I have photos on my website. The tech would did my alingment said they were much better for adjustment than the factory setup. The interior lights are hyper purple led lights 194 series lights. I also change my drive lights to the same led lights. The rear sway bar does work compared to the stock bar.

 The best spring set to buy would be the teins b/c they come from a racing background and is backed by some of the best racers in japan, also every big-time company in the biz is trusting their cars with tein, next to tein is eibach, which is probably on of the best suspension co. in the business, one of the oldest, by the way they are the one supplying trd with their springs, so you can-t go wrong with them. Whenever you drop a car you will have to get a camber kit b/c your car will have a negative camber even from the slightest drop, you can get away with it if you have 18-s and drop it a inch and a quarter but anymore and a camber kit and an alignment is in order. The tc does have adjustable camber, but only in the rear, the dealer wasn-t lying to you, the fronts you will have to buy and get it aligned, the sooner the better. If you only get a front kit and don-t align the back then the back will start to wear extremely fast. I went through about 8 sets of tires on my honda before I figured the whole process out. good luck and by the way test the car around corners it-s a whole lot more fun now.watch for speed bumps

I got the rear link bars from this sites store and the front from and H&R dealer the part # was TC117. As for the leds I got the bulbs off ebay but for the gauges you will have to buy special leds. There is a DIY in one of the forums that has all the info.
