So yesterday I've installed Anderson Design & Fab 2-inch spacers and changed the wheels from 225/35R18 to 215/65R16. Took me like 6 hours (mostly because of my own incompetence). And I got...mixed results. First of all it definitely feels more comfortable driving (which is one of the things I was going for), there is minimal rubbing - mostly at full lock. But I also get a strange knocking sound at the front from small bumps. Like metal on metal. I'm thinking it might be the end links because the actual coilovers sitting much lower now, so the end links or sway bar is hitting something. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd appreciate any feedback on this issue.
