hey guys. I noticed recently ive been having an issue with a loud clunk coming from my front end when i hit cracks/potholes in the road.
also when i have 4 people in my car, when i hit these same cracks/potholes i hear the tires hit in in the wheel wells. i was going to replace my springs, put in some tein s-techs, but im pretty sure that wont help with my clunking, what do u guys think? p.s. this whole system has 170k on it... --------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |

Odd, the KYB GR-2 also have a lifetime warrenty -- and unlike the Monroes, the warrenty is considered good even if you lower your car as much as 1.5".
That aside, couple other parts you'll want to look at are the boots/bumpstops (if you buy aftermarket they're usually integrated), and the spring insulators (these would be the little, dealer-only rubber plates which keep your suspension from rattling like mad). |
