OK guys the shocks are in!!!!!

For those who don't know, I had shocks made by www.activetuning.com. The fronts are koni and the rear are KYB AGX. I have been testing them for about an hour today. Favorite setting for the rear is 4. The fronts I set them to completely stiff and the handling is amazing. It doesn't even ride that hard even with the Eibach's and the 20's.. These shocks are definitely what I was waiting for. The quality is far better then stock. I haver one issue that I can't figure out though. When the koni's are set all the way stiff I here no noise coming from my nfront right strut. When I set them soft I hear a clunking noise. It's weird because I heard this noise when I had the eibach's on the stock struts too. Can it be something else?? I am taking the front right apart today and checking to see if everything is ok. Any idead guys??

Having already put koni's on previous cars, it's advised that you do not put them all the way stiff.

*Did you cut the bump stops?*

I'm not sure if for the Max do you have to cut the bump stops? For almost every car you have to.

it only happens on the right side so I dont think bump stops is the issue.

That would be impossible because:

The fronts will be added shortly, but they will be $375 + $200 core charge. The way it works is you have three options:

1. Pay $375, send your struts to us, we send back the Koni front
2. Pay $575, we send the Koni's you keep your stock struts
3. Pay $575, we send the Koni's, you have 10 day after delivery to send us your stock struts. After we recieve them, we refund you $200.
