New Coilovers What Now??, I got ?'s Options

[j0ch0a94ST]

Hey guys I just installed a pair of Tom's Motorsport coilovers on the front of my 94 ST Hatch. I have 17x7's on the front wrapped with 215-45-r17 rubber. I noticed that when I make hard turns that I get a single popping noise most noticeable in the driverside front. I believe that the top of the tire is hitting the bottom of the shock assembly. ? is how detrimental is this and what is the best course of action. I know solutions could be wheel spacers () or adjustment but I won't be able to adjust them until this weekend due to my restrictions at my townhome residence(not really supposed to work on the vehicles in the parking lot) I'll be able to work on it at a different location this weekend but wanted to see just HOW UNSAFE my situation really is. Thanks for the input guys!

If they are threaded sleeves slipped onto a regular strut, then you don't have "Tom's" coilovers, and someone screwed you. Remember - Tom's is just "Tom's", not Tom's Motorsport.

Popping in this situation is generally caused by the coil not having anything to seat into and it moves, making a pop noise.

Do your coilovers look like this?

Or like this?
