Consider doing toe arms at the same time. Has a very positive effect on the way the car drives and will give you even more adjustment

Well, they're on. But we did some things wrong, lol. My first coilover install, his like fourth. Decided to try it out anyway.
Car rides great, and at highway speeds there's no noise. But at low speed there's some pretty terrible noises which are frightening me. I think I may know what the problem is, but I'm going to ask for some of your opinions as well. First, here's the video showing off the noises (You can really hear it at :30 seconds.) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4uNQLOZHqw"]frs provlem - YouTube[/ame] Secondly, I realize we were supposed to install them both at a 90* angle, like the instructions said, but I guess we got tired on the last one and did it wrong. Or we're just retarded. Fixing it tomorrow after school either way. Instructions:  Right Side:  Left Side (Correctly Installed):  But all in all, I decided to go for a conservative drop, just until I get my camber arms and new wheels, then I'm droppin' her all the way. Here's how it's sitting now, I'll get more pictures tomorrow.  Down from a 4 finger wheelgap to about a 1 finger gap. I'll keep you guys updated with how tomorrow goes. |

Well #1 fix the install issue and see if the noise persists. #2 if that isn't it maybe you're bottoming out on something because your car is too low? like tires hitting the plastic liner? Also something could be loose. If nothing else, this weekend tighten up every bolt you removed just to be safe.
