Can see if it goes away, if not just call Ksport and get them to send you those parts.

It just be the spring settling in and everything getting used to the weight of the car and such. I'll be putting mine on real soon (maybe Thursday) so I'll see if I get the same noise. I already have an annoying scraping sound coming from the brakes so it'll just be another thing to add to the list.

Haha. Ill be anxiously awaiting pics and your thoughts on these coilovers. Hope you do well with the rears. I could'nt get the lower arm to drop due to the fact that There was no way the bolt was coming out. We tried air gun and hammering it out. Nothing worked. We had to give the stock strut a lot of love to get it out (both sides). But we managed it anyway.Originally Posted by ambystom01

Ok I got mine installed and I have the same noises you do. At low speeds there's a thud type sound and at times it sounds like I'm scraping the tires, which isn't possible since they're stock and I only lowered it about 1.5 inches. Have you got an alignment yet? I need one BADLY, the steering is just crap right now.

no allignment yet. Very soon. I have to repair my cv boot that I damaged like an idiot. after thats done ill get an allignment. My steering feels great. I set the wheels to a negative camber with the lower adjustment. Make sure you have them set the lower setting to zero so you can then adjust using the plates... my friend got an allignment on his rx7 and they used the camber plates to set it so if he ever adjusts the plates he loses the setting.Originally Posted by ambystom01

hmm. What did you set your dampning at? I had mine set at medium which is full lock to the right... then back off two complete turns.. I then put it on full lock right and I like the ride much better personally. Mine is very tight steering. Did you set the lower camber setting the same on both wheels? (top bolt where the bottom of the strut mounts)
Pics!?!

Dampening is set at medium right now. Didn't even consider the bolts on the bottom, so they're probably not even close to the same.

Yeah. The top bolt of the lower mount is slotted. you want your plates set at zero and when you get an allignment make sure they know to allign it using that top bolt. Not your plates. I just set both of mine all the way negative so at least they are the same. My side to side is very responsive and turn in is amazing.Originally Posted by ambystom01

Medium felt a little more "bouncy" to me. I had it like that for two days. put it on stiff and doubt I will go back. Stiff is a lot stiffer of course but I dont mind the ride.

I'll see how they are after I deal with the alignment issue. The entire way home I was scared sh!tless cause of how wobbly the car felt.
the car is a little more twitchy due to the fact we are used to sloppy stock suspension. But mabey there is something wrong if the car felt "wobbly". Or it could be just that your allignment is just more outa wack then mine went.
