GoldLine VS Eibach

I have new wheels coming and I want to lower the car a little at the same time. I have found two sets of springs that look to be made for the magnum. Goldlines are about $100 bucks cheaper.

Are they any good, better worse then the Eibachs?

How does the ride compare.. ect ..ect



Thanks !

Don't forget the Mopars. They are in the middle at $216ish at moparsupercenter.com.

My understanding is that the Mopar has a 1" drop, others have 1.5 - 2"

I did the mopars - They started at 1" drop. I'll let you know where they settle at any point.

Gold Lines

I bought the Gold-Lines because they have a "no sag" guarantee. I have to install them one of these day...Probably at the end of the month. I've heard nothing but good things about these springs.

I went with the Eibach's and I must say this is by far the best mod I have done, even over the zoomers. The springs make the car look better and it drives out so much better. Corners are night and day. Now it feels the way it should and not like a boat.

Matt Robinson reported some Zoomers scraping problems. I am very interested to hear how this is for you because I want to lower mine after I put the new wheels on too.
Have you gone over any speed bumps or rail road tracks yet?

I have gone over both and if you are taking it slow NP, I did shoot through a light one time a little too fast not seeing this good dip and bottomed out but that is the only time I have had that happen. Just like any lowered car you have to watch dips, pulling out of drives that are steep ECT. but no issues with the Zoomers.

On my R/T with Eibach Pro-Kit they dropped the car 1.75", front and rear. I also have Zoomers and the clearance is about 3" at the mufflers and 7.5" at the tips. I recently changed to 20" wheels and Nitto NT420s 255-45-20 and picked up a little clearance. With just me in the car, which is about 95% of the time no real issues, because I take everything at an angle and slow. With three other guys in the car I would just clip the speed bumps at work, but with the new tires, no problems if I am careful.
