BC racing extreme drop coilover kit
 
Just like a few other members on the forums, i also am having the same exact problem. every bump i hit, my passenger front coilover makes this annoying Clunk sound. it wasnt bad, till today.. its bad now. it sounds the same as @white86 problem.. His video in his forum is the EXACT same sound mine is making. So with that being said, anyone have any ideas what it could be ?

Few options im looking at right now is, Going with a totally different brand of coilovers or even debating on going with Bags.. Any suggestions on those ? :(

are you using stock endlinks?

PolishFrs13 03-11-2014 11:02 PM

If you can afford bags ($3500) do it, its well worth the money. The ability to change ride heights is the best benefit.

super soft spring rates ? if you are running aggressive wheels you could screw up your fenders. And nothing beats a static car rolling down the road....

ex look at @nab335 and @SLICVIC:thumbsup:

try using the stock ones or take them out completely and go for a drive to rule out the endlinks.

Are you an idiot? They are completely adjustable as far as stiffness, true they wont be as firm as some coils but you wont fuck your fenders. Look at the vw scene everyone runs super agressive wheels on air and their fenders are perfectly fine (except those that ride uber low and don't give a fuck).

Why is it that nothing beats a static car rolling down the road? So you're saying scraping frame because you're too low? can't get over speedbumps? can't get into driveways? Is that "cool" or stupid?

Are you a fucking retard ?

Your spring rates are never adjustable, and if you are driving low and hit a pot hole you will fuck up your fenders on bags, but if you are running aggressive springs ( 10k all the way to 32k) chances of your wheel moving is minimal.
I bet your definition of low is springs with a 2 inch wheel gap, while mine is tucking wheels, And i'm sure the OP doesn't care since he already opted for extreme drops.

It just does, and most stanceheads agree. The way a car drives static is unbeatable :thumbsup:. Regarding scraping and not getting up places, well thats just what comes with the game.

Please put you E penis back into your boxers now

I'm guessing you've never had air ride and you aren't open to the concept. Only one raging here is you. My definition of low IS AIR i've owned several VW's on air and i would never go back to coils, they can handle anything i throw at them on the streets and can take the abuse on the track.

I don't get why some people get so offended whenever someone suggests bags. I would totally get them if I knew I wouldn't ever take my car to the track. They're comfy and convenient.

lmao. honestly dont even bother bro. some poeple will never find out or understand. bags can never be as stiff as a static setup. a few of my close friends are on top of the line setups and its a whole different scenario. you can tell when riding in their car comfort wise, its not possibly as stiff as they advertise. also, there are a whole bunch of people that have attempted riding low and ended up either messing up their fenders or ripping their bags. sure practicality wise nothing can beat it. but if you are actually trying to drive super low with an aggressive setup, bags aren't an option unless you want to risk cracking your kit/or mess up your fenders. they are more for hardparking.

not that I am against bags or anything, its just none of you guys have probably been in a car with real stiff springs. not a 'stiff' bag of air lol.
