New coilovers *PICS*
Installed a set of cusco coilovers on thje car today. Just puttin out a few pics. And for anybody tht has installed a set before--Did you have a odd clunking/rattling noise from the front when u went over bumps?(after installed) Because i do. I checked ALL the bolts, brake lines are back in properly, im thinking it has to do with the car being lowered, maybe a sway bar hitting or something. Any feedback/suggestions are welcome. Thanks for viewing.

I would check under the car for any FRESH scrapes to see if it is bottoming out. I dont know how much it lowered, but it's possible it hitting. My car never hit the ground on regular bumps, just speed bumps.

no its not scraping im sure. Im not talking about speed bumps, i mean like cracks in the pavement(small bumps). Ive already drove it like 10miles in the current conmdition. And it handled fine, nothing seemed loose or whatever.

Check it out. See if there are bushings. If there are, make sure they are all there. They are fairly cheap to replace if need be.
Good luck.

i was just saying that becasue he didnt mention the noise happening before. i guess you could wrap the upper coils with rubber to eliminate some of the noise

no real problems, if it really disturbs you use some lube or wd40
