i have s tech coil overs installed and when i drove off i hear a scraping sound but i dont know where its coming from. any idea if its coming from the tire rubbing on anything under the wheel well. need help!

 

is it rubbing when you turn the wheels, or just driving straight? you are going to have to jack the car up and inspect the inside of the fenders for any signs of rubbing

 

even when driving staight i could hear it. it doesnt sound like rubbing on the wheel well. i just inspected it a few minutes ago and the sound is getting worst. especially on uneven roads i could hear it

 

with thise springs i blew out 3 of my shocks..in 5 months,the car does not like to be that low

 

ok. thanks. im putting back the stock springs and that will save me money in the long run. i'll just save up for some coil overs instead.

 

well if you are saving up for coilovers you might as well leave those spring on,your going to be changing the shock anyway,that what i did then i bought a set of basic coilovers for 850 (tanabe sustec pro 2) i love them, there ride height adjutable but not the shocks....there a little stiffer then stock and you could drop the car as low as you want with out that soft musshy ride i had with those crappy springs....and the car will not bounce the way it does

good luck

 

The problem with your S Techs is that you got S Techs. Why did you waste your money?

 

i dont know why i waisted my mone on the stechs. every time i turn the wheel no matter if im moving or not im having a clank sound. it seems like the springs are moving or something. any suggestions?

 

can anyone tell me if the clunking sound i hear when i turn the wheels is caused by the spring. i just recently returned my stock springs.

 

sounds like a bad install

 

springs wer flush on the struts. i installed them twice already and i still get the sound. i dont know if the springs have a left side and a right side

 

thats exactly what it is... is it worse when the roads wet?

 

no left or right. Just front and back. Springs have to sit properly on the perch. It's a no brainer...not sure what you missed.

 

thats what i tought. they are sitting flush on the perch. i dont know why they are still moving when i'm turning the wheels.

 

i gotta be honest..ever since i installed those springs on...... my suspension and handling went to hell. the look "drop" is nice but whats the point? now i understand what the "S" in the s-techs really means
