#793, "Urgent to anyone with coilovers..."




          

well i installed my front coilovers today (maxspeeds) but didnt get the koni struts yet,so theyre on the OEM struts. i knocked off the spring perch and the coilover perch is sitting at the bottom of the collar. but once i started driving im hearing all kinds of clinking and clanking noises coming from the front suspension. i checked the lug nuts, strut tower nuts,and they were all tight. do any of you others with coilovers have this problem with noise? do you think it may be the stock strut causing the springs to bottom out? i think it may be the spring hitting against the collar but cant think of a way to fix this. but if i get aftermarket struts will i be adding suspension travel? this is what i need most cause the springs are almost fully compressed when the car is sitting still so i bottom out on almost any bump.
anyone know about any of these questions let me know
