Well we dropped the front of my car tonight, we had a problem with a nut stripping in the back so it didnt get done, well i get ready and take a test drive, i can still clear my driveway, sprint and kyb gr2 btw, so anyway my suspension is making A LOT of noise, i do have the padding things over the coils, so thats not it, i was just wondering if it is just the alignment or maybe just that it is going to make that noise while it settles simply because it is new, any help i can get is appreciated, thanks

to be more specific its almost like a groan, on my way to ntb tommorow morning, and yes i am very familiar with the suspension thread above

 

maybe you dont have the spring seated straight on the isolators. does it make any noise when you push the car down from the bumper?

 

If you tried this already, I am no help here.

go to VQPOWER.COM...how 2's....4th gen...3 page..."spring noise relief"

 

i think its ok, i didnt do that test, but i checked and rechecked everything

 

i did the test, no noise, well it is now gone from simple noise to pure rattling, the steering wheel is constantly moving and shaking, the noise happens when i am not accelerationg, just maintaining speed, if i accelerate i am ok, if im braking, im ok, but maintaining speed rattles my car like mad, do u think this could be bc of the slant, btw if i didnt mention the front is dropped 2 inches and the back is still at stock height, i dunno, i just really need help cuz i dont feel safe driving it

 

Get an alignment

 

dont i need to put the back springs on first

 

They make no adjustment to the rear, only the front gets aligned. Depending where you take it they might try and tell you you need a front camber kit. You really won't need it though.

You should just get the back done first incase when the rear gets lower it may F up the front alignment a little. I'm not sure.

I stripped the center bolt on the rear stock strut, so I had to cut it off.

 

really, we were unable to remove that one bolt on the ds rear which is why we stopped, so its going to the shop no matter what
