spring question...
I had some lowering springs on my car for a while, and noticed my camber was horrible in the rear. So i bought some stock T2 springs for the rear. The camber isn't as noticable now, but now when i drive around, my car makes a poping noise and the ride sucks compared to how it was with the lowering springs. What could that poping be? any suggestions would help. thanks

Your shocks are pnuematic. Inside the shock is a chamber of gas. Sometimes the seals around the chamber can come loose or break. At least thats what happened on my motorcycles.
I don't see how changing the springs would cause this problem, but check it anyway.

Are you running aftermarket shocks or have the original ones still in the rear?  If they are stock, they are notorious for leaking NOW.  Easiest way to check is to jack the rear up and remove one of the rear tires (this helps a lot).  Check the area of the shock where the silver center shaft enters the lower (black) housing - if you see anything WET, the rear shocks are BAD.

Yeah... i went and checked and i didn't see any liquid at all leaking...I'm thinking that maybe it's just something is loose or something, I'll check all the bolts and such to see. Also, i don't know if i mentioned this but i do have after market shocks. I'll check and see if it wassn't anything else that could be loose.
thanks guys

Ah, so you do have pneumatic shocks, which means there wouldn't be liquid around it.
Heres an idea (never done it so don't know if it will work). Spray some WD-40 or like substance around the seal where the shaft moves in and out. Press the shock in and out, and see if there are any air bubles that come out.
Dunno how effective that is, but give it a try.
