Front suspension is done

Well, I've gotten the fronts done on my car. Though I've got tweaking to do. The car sits much more level, with the rear being a little higher (and that is from the fact I'm still running stock suspension in the back). The car definately sits lower in the front than from before. Right now I have some probs though. I'm getting some suspension noise from the front (probably need to go back and torque everything down). I've also got the very mild case of the lowered honda bounce, but until I finish the rears, that might be hard to tell. I will keep y'all posted.

That bounce could be the result of the struts not being adjusted stiff enough...could also be do to things being loose up there...good luck with it...

Well, it maybe loose, I've check the strut to steering knuckle bolts and they are torqued to spec, and so are the strut tower bolts. It could be the inserts moving a little (I think they have a little bit of a gap because I could get them to seat all the way in. Also the KONI's are set to full soft....but they seem a bit stiff (but that could be the springs). I think my honda bounce is because my rears are really bad and the bouncing makes it way to the front a little. I might have my buddy check them out.
