#7503, "annoying clunk in the rear after lowering"
weeks back i posted that after installing my prokits and kyb gr2s, i have this clunk that is caused by the spring hitting the bottom metal perch of the spring holder. first it was just the left rear...now i hear it on both sides.
i took somebody's advise here to put some sort of hose ( i used a garden hose) to insulate and deaden the sound.. it really didn't work.
does anybody else have this problem? it is annoying as hell. the guy that installed the springs keeps offering to put my stockers back on. that is not an option. but i am at my wits end when i hear it everytime i drive.
help!

get aftermarket struts-shocks. that should help the problem. your oem shocks are the kyb gr-2's so by you replacing those with the same shocks wont help.

my prokits and gr2s were installed months ago! instead of getting better they got worse. right after installation, it was just the rear left. now even ther right rear clunks.
could it be that the spring is short? i am so frustrated.

Well, yes, the spring is short. Stiffer too, but definately shorter. That is how it does it's lowering. I would personally save up some grip, and get a set of illuminas and ground controls with the helper spring. The helper spring keeps the coilover in contact with both perches no matter what the suspension is doing. -=B-=

I'm not very familiar with the part names, etc but for ground controls i understand they are Coilovers, and to ditch my $300 investment on suspension parts (AGX + Pro-Kits) it's NOT an option.
