Default Gold Lines installed today
Wow, what a difference. On paper I guess 1.5" front and 2" rear just doesn't sound like much, at least not to me, but after the install I was amazed at how much lower it felt just sitting the car! Huge improvement in handling, as many of you have already blissfully discovered, and the ride quality is only slightly stiffer, even on the lousy excuse for road surfaces on local LA area freeways. I'll play with this a bit before deciding what else to upgrade in the handling department.

Looks good Mike. I know you will enjoy the handling improvements a lot. I used to feel like it was wallowing in fast turns but springs really tightend it up. I know you are just itchin' to spend more money on that thing![8)]

Looks good. I really noticed the difference after I lowered (Eibachs 1.6/2.0 drop) when I got out of my GT. The ground felt so much closer when I put my feet out to stand up.
