i have not heard anything like that
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
well i have goldline's and i'm scared about the lip i'm getting. YOu can look at my pics if htey are still up in a post a week or so ago and compare to yours. I think my rear is lower then the front now. All though its gotten better it seams.

i have had goldlines for about a year i am also running a drift kit and am not having too many problems with ride hight. the ride is great. i strongly recommend them.
my front sits a bit higher than my rear... (people try to tell me it's due to the system in the trunk but i've had it out and it makes no difference) i'm running the 2.2 eco...
eibach sportlines give the same drop and a VERY EVEN drop~
just a thought!~
Great Combo w/ konis!!
Well I just installed the GOldines on my cavy with a 2200 and the front is an inch higher thean the rear with nothing in the trunk.
I am all that is man
in the FAQ it tells u, some people with 2.2 and 2.2 eco's sometimes get an uneven drop with goldlines... case in point both strat and ESB both have 2.2's(yes i know strats is an ECO) and have slightly uneven drops as they stated...
my cars dropped on sportlines and its a nice even drop, but i do have a Z24...

Well I solved my problem.
I cut 1/2 coil off the top of the front drivers side and 3/4 coil off the top of the pas side.
This got the front down level with the rear and made up for that extra 1/4" on the pas side.
Say what you will about cutting springs. I dont care. Ive been there done that for years now. Besides. I couldnt stand riding around witht he front up higher than the rear for one day.
I am all that is man
How much wheelgap do you have in the front ESB? I am looking at goldlines for my 2.4 fire but I don't want much wheelgap up front.
With 215/45-17 its 1.5" from tire to fender. Its about 13" to center of rim which is about the same as what I read other people having. Now this is after I cut the springs.
You having the 2.4 shouldnt a problem I guess. But Im sure you will have the higher front right side.
If your picky like I am I would rather go with coilovers. ANd I still might, even though this car is just my work car now. I couldnt stand the 1/4" higher pass side that I had with these and the Teins I had before.
I am all that is man
Thanks, and yea I am picky about being even, especially with a big system in the trunk to weigh the rear down even more.
damn ESB man how many diff suspension set-ups have u had?

With goldlines on my eco the front sat noticebly higher then the rear with the rear looking like it was squating, even when it was stripped..no spare nothing. My H&R's which are supposed to be higher then the goldlines sit lower in the front then the goldlines did.
from hat i have heard everyone with the eco engine is having that problem caus ethe engine is alot light then the 2.2 or the 2.4.but who knows if that is true..phil
the engine is the same weight as the 2.2 ohv, both are around the 300 mark
the 2.4 is around 50lbs heavier...
the differences in engine weight isnt as significant as many make it out to be...
Yeah that sure dosnt sound like enough to make a dif.
As far as what ive had.
Weapon-R coilovers
coilovers up front with cut stockers out back
bags
Intrax (for a week while car was in shop getting tranny worked on)
Bags
Teins (for a week, wish I would have kept those around and not sold them)
Bags
Goldlines
Stayed tunned to see what happins next week.
JK It will stay this way for a while now. My money is going into my S10 now
I am all that is man
ESB - i wish you would have kept those teins too
i talked to the guy that has my car last week and he's letting the car collect dust..he doesn't even drive it!!! i say we go to dallas and pull a jack move!!lol j/p
but i got my new teins in the mail last week so when i go to ur place to install the new hub assembly, we'll knock that out too....o and 1 q...you think we should cut the teins??
tein...very even drop, and no more than 5mm of squat when installed...very smooth almost stock like ride no bouncing and no kidney belt needed... but super flat corrnering
they're a 1.4 drop though...i dont know how low you want...but we have speed bumps everywhere here so 1.4 is really low enough for me....dont wanna get stuck like my buddie did...lol
