if im right, the springs are setting, they may not be in there right real tight, causing them to move, did you put the spacers in?

i put everything that it came with in and some stuff off the stock set up... what do the spacers look like? im pretty sure your right about the springs setting i had some one turn the wheel and i looked at the springs and they were poping like there not in place right.. will they move themselves into place or should i take it apart and try again?

well... you could probobly just jack your car up and twist them into place...i talked to someone who had the same problem, his wasn't as bad as your's though, but similar... he said he coudl move his coilcovers around while his car was siting... my advice is just to jack your car up, and make sure your springs are in there right and in place and all...

also how low do you have the springs compressed? that may be an isssue also, try raising your springs, and seeing if it still makes noises when it goes around corners, than lower it just a little bit each time to the hight where it no longer makes noises and don't go any further...

I cant move my spings when it isnt jacked up.. and how do you put them in place? on the GC there you can just twist them around and around and it doesnt stop in one place or anything....
But it does seem like there not in place... i just dont know how to get them in the right place.

I think it may be to low.. i had 2" drop before and it is little bit lower then my last springs.. probably like 2.3" or something.. it looks soooo good where it is but ill try raising it and see what happens.

Would it help if i did the tape and silicone sealer stuff to my setup?

well you see im just not sure, since i dont have coil covers, but if im right, there is something you place over the top and bottom of the springs right that allow you to adjust them right? like little tops...well if so than whats going on, is that the struts are made for just springs, and i think those tops arn't allowing the springs to go into place just right...the struts have an actual design on the bottom plate the springs rest on, and i dont think they were made for the coil covers... i could be wrong but i think thats what the problem is...

did raising it help any?
