I’m currently running Tein S-tech with koni yellows all around. The drop is very even buy the ride quality is incredibly rough. I have the struts set in the middle setting. Also replaced control arms, tie rods, end links, strut mounts, etc but there are still noises coming from the driver’s side when I go over bumps and pot wholes. Does anybody have this same problem because its driving me insane. I’m debating on whether to change the spring at all but I love the drop and the way it handles. I heard the H&R’s are very good and much smoother but only offer 1.4” in the front. Should I keep this setup or is there anything I can do to make it feel better and get rid of all that noise?

ur car looks hot with s-tech. try to fix the bushings before u move on to other springs. or just get D2/ksports....

 

Ive heard alot about those KONI yellows. I have Teisn S-tech w/ KYB shocks all around. So far ive had no problem. Try maybe changing the shocks...

 

It's most likely your tires that are causing the "rough" ride over pot holes and abrupt pavement changes (looks like you have 19s). If you can, try installing stock wheels and tires and see if the problem goes away. Sidewall height has a lot to do with how your suspension deals with sharp jolts. Your springs and shocks just don't have time to react to those sorts of things. Different tires can also affect the characteristic that you are talking about becuase of differences in sidewall construction. Imagine going over a set of train tracks with a skate board versus an old ATV with no suspension and I think you'll see my point.

 

It did it with 17" rims on it as well so it must be something else
