issue with Robispec'd KW's

So I just installed some clubsports on my car this weekend and when I test drove it, the car pulled to the left sorta hard. I figured it was normal and didn't matter I was going to get an alignment Tuesday. I drove all day on them yesterday without a problem. Then today pulling out of my driveway there was a loud bang or kung noise so I stopped and went back up the curb, but nothing. So I decided to drive to work in the car because its my only one. Then while driving I noticed my alignment was straight! Any clues on this? Sorry if this has been posted, I can't look as I'm typing from my android. Thabks, Sean

i would definately take the wheels off and double check everything, and of course, get your alignment no matter what

maybe a spring wasn't seated correctly and pulling out of your driveway relieved some tension and it popped back into place...

I wouldn't consider this a problem with coilovers themselves though, but maybe an install error...

Alright sounds good to me. I was going to take the car to a friends shop to have the rotors resurfaces on tuesday, so while its up on the lift I will take a look at the spring, bolts and everything related to the coilover and its installation. Side note.. the car drove normal on my 5 mile drive back home from work.

It seems that there may be an issue with the installation. double check that, and get the car aligned, and keep us posted.
