Ran into a fellow RSX'er who had a 1.5 Goldine drop all around. Car looked good, he said it rides better than stock, and it only cost him $250. I'm a little skeptical, i wanna lower my car for cheap, but also i want a quality drop that will last me. If anyone could give some advice it would help cause so far everyone i know who knows about these things hasn't had a clue, let alone even ever heard of Goldline. Thanks in advance.

 

I know that gold-line also makes the Clubrsx springs at 1.5" drop also. I have ridden in an RSX-S with the Eibach prokit and was not impressed. (seemed to loose and bouncy( And I have Eibachs (sport-kit)on my hatchback(love em)...I run a set of Tein springs on mine and am satisfied with them. I did have to get a camber kit front and rear...You might be in the front but the rear upper control arms are different than the Civics and Integras of the past...They bolt in Vertically.

I am in the hunt for a Coilover kit though.

If they offer a sag warranty then you should be fine, I would be more worried about who was going to install them and the price of 250.00 is pretty high.

 

From what I have read Goldline springs are good quality. They give aabout 1.5 inch drop all around, and keep the ride pretty stock feeling. I dont know where you saw them for 250, i've seen them as cheap as ~150. I'd give u a link to them on ClubRSX, but they are down for the weekend.

I was planning on getting them, and then upgrading shocks later, but then a friend of mine took me for a ride in his car with the Tein SS Coilovers, and now I have to have them , they're 1200 but seem worth it.

 

I've had them for 2 years since they first came out, so I can tell you they definitely look & ride nicely and are the best way to drop your car on a budget. They are only slightly firmer than stock, and are designed to work well with the stock dampers, so they won't feel too stiff/bouncy or harsh like some other brands do. Goldline specializes in making only coil springs and nothing else, and they have excellent customer service if you have any questions. check them out at http://www.goldlineonline.com/

Note they now also make a 1.75" drop race spring for the RSX if you want something a little more aggressive. Here's my car on the original 1.5" springs

yes the clubrsx springs are made by goldline but the drop is 1.75 as compared to the standard goldline of 1.5 in. goldline is a company based out of cali and they produce quality springs. they are not specifically built for AUTO-X or DRAG. according to jeff the owner(i think) they are built to lower the car slightly, provide more responsive steering and an almost stock ride quality. the springs were engineered for the dc-5 strut so there is no need to upgrade the struts and they should not lose compression. i've had mine for about 3 years now when goldline first began producing them and there has been no need for new struts so far 27k later. i was very impressed with them, even when goldline was a less well known name. i bought mine directly through goldline for $165 a few years ago. the only reason i will be upgrading to the progress coilover suspension within a few weeks. the only reason for this is due to a good price and the good reveiws they have received for the dc-5 kit. if u get the goldline's you will not regret them. NO this isn't a paid endorsement for goldline.

 

BTW the install is straight forward enough that if u are semi-mechanically inclined, you could do it yourself. if u want to see a pix of my drop, click on the LHT link in my sig and go to sample cars.

sorry to bring up and old thread, but how much did the goldline springs affect your camber?

 

May need a camber kit in the rear, but definitely not in the front.

 

Thanks for bumping up this thread.
I was going to leave my RSX completely stock but I was starting to get the itch to lower it a tad to give it a sportier look without loosing the stock suspensions comfortable feel.
Where is the best place to purchase these? Club RSX website?

 

I was looking on the GoldLine site, and I didn't see the springs with the 1.75" drop. Also, that Rsx looks lighter than the FirePepper Red. maybe it's the lighting? I just never saw mine hit like that in the light.

 

And I don't care what people think/say, lowering the RSX is going to wear the stock shocks faster, period. The shocks may be ok for a few K miles, but soon they will start to go as they are seeing significantly more wear due to the lower rideheight.

I compared a new stock shock to a new A-Spec shock and the difference in valving is very significant. Hugely significant, actually. Those shocks are made to support a lower rideheight.

 

dont know much about these but im sure you have herd of function and forms, amazing coils, great price http://www.speedfiends.com/index.php just spreading the love

 

Nice plug...
