These are H&R springs. 2 inch drop. Ride feels very nice. I notice more now that I need a rear sway bar. I feel cooler now too, maybe I'm a fag, but whatever.

Nice but umm...you took up two parking spots :mad: Just kidding. Looks pimp yo' I have the H&R Sport springs too and I get no clunking or rattling noises. But I installed some H&R springs on Plainol2k2si's EP and he's got some clunking noises...we're going to inspect the noises tomorrow.

Did you do the install. If so do you remember the plates that rest on the strut plate. The plate with the piece that can move (rotate), with the oem greese on it. If you noticed the piece did not move easily, I think it needs to move easily. OEM greese isn't enough, buy a lithium greese. Add where you find the oem, also add to the top of the springs. Make sure you tighten it very well, so the spring will not be loose to move and pop. Now the greese will help with the slight movement. Took me some cash and time to figure this.

02SilverSIHB graciously did the install for me a week ago. Like the unmechanical a-hole I am I just stood around and watched. This is good info though. I know we didn't re-grease this and I'll PM 02SilverSIHB so we can do this and maybe we'll get the problem solved. Thanks!

To be honest, I don't think I need to get her aligned. I let go of the wheel and she drives as straight as an arrow.

Looks great. Rims and tires next?

Type S sway bar. Rims and tires are at the very least 6-8 months away.

love the drop! hows the ride??

Ride is very good. Ride is alot more stable.

NOPE

Looks nice and clean.

I'd still recommend an alignment to make sure everything is good so you don't get uneven wear on your tires, but that's your call. Or you could wait until you eventually got the new tires and rims.

Congrats dude....

:D

I have the progress with a 1.5 inch rear drop...all I have to say is the camber is off by alot. I have been through 2 rear tires in one year! Its maybe caust i drive alot more and faster than others heheheh.
I love the springs, but they still make creaking noises when there cold!:D

My tires don't creak. How many more miles are you driving than the rest of us?

How are your tires looking? Any signs of excessive wear?
