#12718, "Need Help!"




          


I installed some H&R Sport Springs and I have GR-2's.

Problem 1:
After I drove it for a while I started hearing a bumping noise in the rear when I go over a bump and what not, so I looked at everything and at the rear strut towers my shocks are sticking up about 1/2" off the tower. I put a washer between the bump stop and the bottom bushing and that helped until today. It's sticking up again but not as much.
What can I do to fix this shit?

Problem 2:
Another thing is I think the bump stop is getting slammed too. I cut it in half but there is only like 1" of space between the bottom of the shock and the bottom of the bump stop. I know my shocks bound more than an inch so I think this has alot to do with the noise.
Should I cut them more?

Help me out guys, I love the ride with these springs but I got to fix this so I can be truly happy.

Thanx in advance!!!

I think you may have gotten some of the bushings mixed up that go over the top of the spring, that or you left some out. Did you put the bushing in that sits and conforms directly on the top of the spring? As far as the bump stop goes, im lowered on 2" sprints and only cut 3/4" off mine with no probs.
