Wow looks perfect! And I'm not a big fan of the stock spoiler, but it looks great balanced with your front lip. Nice job!

Back to the clunking, my .02...the only time I've had clunking like that is when sand/dirt has gotten into the bearings of the top hats. Of course, it took me 4 suspension removal/installs before I found that. LOL. (this was not on an FRS/BRZ)

silicone spray flushed the grime out, then re-greased and never had the issue again.

I'm actually planning to remove it and replace it with the CARSMO duckbill. Just waiting for them to finalize their paint and ship it.

Spoke with Whiteline and the OP and they are working on this.

Just an update.

Draco which lip is that? I installed the STI a few days ago and love it. Barely scrapes on exit of my driveway if I go straight on. If I angle it....no scrape.

It's the HTA lip. The design is a bit more aggressive than the STI with more pronounced "fangs". I'm not 100% sure I want to keep it, I'll be sure once I get the rear spoiler I want on the car. But if not, there's only 5 in existence right now so I'm sure I can sell it.

Took the car back to Evasive to correct install. No more clunking noises. Rides well. Thanks guys.

Seems the springs are pretty much set and look even lower esp in the rear.

Looks great on the FR-S!

Myles and Dan just did the install on a local's car with a bunch of pics. Dan will polish things up and post instructions soon.

On another note, damn...I love this car and these springs. Coming back to a simple RCE Yellow lowering spring set-up after spending most of the time driving Myles' car with the JRZ coilovers, it's still really impressive. Feels good.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

Mind sharing exactly what they fixed on your install?

No worries man. You are probably the 5th customer to ever wait in there and we have been there 2 years. we dont do many installs, instead the shop is used for R&D and test fitting parts.

If you look at the previous page or so, it appears installers have been incorrectly installing the springs as intended. Seems to be some confusion regarding the included dust cover that is meant to go to the rear, NOT replace the OE front dust covers.
