Hey everyone,

I just lowered my 94 GT HB, put some super cheap coilover springs. A couple problems I am having.

1. When I drive over a bump, it makes a loud slamming noise (I am NOT bottoming out). When my friend installed for me, I think he ripped out the bump stops, could this be the problem?

2. When I turn the wheel all the way to one side it will make a spring popping noise, same thing when I turn it back the opposite directions. I am guessing this problem will be fixed once I get allignment fixed.

I do not think these problems are coming from the springs, as I know a couple other people who have these same springs and are not having these issues at all. A bouncy ride is fine with me, but a minor bump or pot hole sounds like a cherry bomb has gone off under the hood.

FYI I do not know much about cars, just basics, so any input would be much appreciated.

thanks =P

thats not true, I understand suspension very well. I've installed these cheap coil and sleeve before and never had those problems but I have seen it in my friends car. It all depends you can never explain someone elses case truely unless youre there. best we can do is just give advice. every case is different. You can still get this same problem with brand name setup if you don't do it right. it all depends.
