Hey guys I just installed a set Of Ksports and hear a rattle and clunk noise coming from all around. It's only when I drive slow when I am up to speed it's gone. Why could this be please help!

Check the preload on your springs. If you have two collars on the lower portion of the spring you'll need to loosen them then tighten the spring (upwards) so it doesn't have any movement. Your instructions should mention preload. If not, just google it and you'll get what Im trying to say haha.

Also, could be your top nut not torqued to the proper spec if you used stock top hats.

Or, you fucked up your end link in the install.

I'd check the preload first.
