I just lowered my car today on tanabe df210. 2"F 1.5R. Or so they say. After everything is done and i drop the car off the jack...it looks a bit lower but not really. Only proof to show that its lower now is the wheel gap is gone. But the front,rear bumper dont seem to have dropped much. And when I turn the steering wheel theres this weird clicking sound coming from the springs as if they are popping in and out of the struts. Could it have to do sometihing with this: While the car was in the air and all the springs and strut assembly put back i dropped the car before tightening the strut bolts on the engine bay and the ones in the trunk? Any help is very appreciated. thanks
