groundcontrols/illumina's..........wierd clunking sound.
I just picked up some ground control coilovers with illumina's, the fronts went on fine, but the rears, when assembled had a gap between the top of the spring and the perch(correct term) it obviously compressed when i put the car back down. now the rear end clunks whenever i hit a bump. both sides simultaneously. What could be the cause of said clunking? and, that's the best way to describe the sound. Thanks.

the problem is a problem associated with all sleeve type coilovers. They don't have preload which is why they uncompress when you lift the car off the ground. There really isn't a solution that I know of. Do you not have it lowered very much?
A full coilover will have preload and stay compressed when in the air...

It's not lowered much. I still have stock 15's with 215/60's on there. I need to get some rims and tires, then Ill lower it. So, I pretty much have to just deal with it? It happens over most any bump, large or small.
