Thanks Joey! This was very helpful. For those who have purchased your kits through the site from JoeBoxer, your proof of purchased has been verified.

Thank you,

I drove from LA to Vegas this weekend and it felt great. Mostly drove around 70mph and no noticeable "bouncy" ride. I had to do some driving on dirt with a bunch of big rocks and I didn't hear clunking or any strange noise.

I can hear noise under 25mph. It sounds more like rattling then clunking. It could very well be my front brake pads since they have some movement (Essex AP Racing Sprint kit). Before the changes I could hear noise up till 40mph and it was a lot more pronounced.

Btw the coilovers pass the GF test. Before she would complain but now she hasn't said a word.

Since the helper springs are removed, do the main springs move around when the car is jacked up?

Iirc they are snug but they can move if you try it manually

on most wheel tire combo a 1.0" drop means the gap is about flush with the tire. Do you have a gap between the tire and the fender?

Sorry for all the Q's. I'm just trying to get an idea of your ride height to where you're saying the springs do not flop around in there.

Actually yeah I have a gap. I'll take some pictures tonight with a ruler up to it so you can gauge the drop.
