I installed tien s tech lowering springs a few months ago. I used the stock struts and shocks and just put the new springs in. The bump stops were com[letly torn up. I have been getting a very bad clanking sound in the rear going over any bump and the ride is very hard/uncomfortable at times. It looks like kyb shocks are my best bet from reading up. Should i get new struts too...and where? Thanks. I wan ta firm ride but not scary like i have now.

I read also that the clanking might be because of bad brushings...i have no idea were to get these either.
