I was wondering what kinda noises these springs make. I heard there is a pinging noise in hard corners and im interested if its annoying or if its lil and nothing to worry about.

Thanx

pinging noises on turning is normal..

Skimax's car does that... ping ping ping.. well. i guess that's ok, considering the benefits of the handling improvement

It only makes noise if you're in a parking lot or something and you're turing slowly. You get used to it

Call Suspension Techniques and see about ordering some poly donuts to fit on the spring seats, someone said they sell them for like $10 a pop. You should only need them on the front, and that should get rid of the noise. Since it's cold now, I'll probably wait until spring to play with it. I also want to try and get something on the rear above and below the aluminum spacer, it makes some noise although with the stereo on you can't really hear it. The only other noise is from the front camber plates which make a dull thudding sound over big bumps, still working out a way to damp that...
