I have no idea whats wrong, but i just wanted to say... if you figure out whats wrong and why it was doing that, could you please e-mail me at Nackersaccent@aol.com so I know what to look for. I just purchased some ground control coilover sleeves 0-3" and some Tokico Illumina shocks and don't want to have the same delemia. Also, do you have to have the camber adjustment kit when you install these or can a shop just adjust it for you? By the way, hope you get it fixe ! I know what a pain it is to do something and have a unexpected turn out.

I can email ya as soon as I find something out and if you will read what I posted earlier you'll see that I did not have a camber kit or have I taken it to a allignment shop... drop almost to the max it don't look that bad,front bumper is about 2 inches off the ground can't go anywhere without scraping... I think I found out what it is though, I had custom exhaust made and I have a bad motor mount so I stuck a piece of wood between the exhaust and the rear suspension and I just looked at the car and noticed it was gone,I don't know if that has got anything to do with it but I'll go through and check everything tomorrow

i had something of a similar problem when i dropped my car. turns out that when i put my muffler on, the way the exhaust was ran, the piping sat on the rear section between the two wheels, right where the piping goes over. i fixed it and there's no more sound. that might be it. i didn't have a problem when i installed my coilovers. the only problem i had was that one of the coilovers got stripped and i lost one. heheheheh

Sounds like your not having too much fu . We had a squeak coming from the rear passanger side like metal on metal. I just sprayed some WD in there and it went away. That was more than a week ago and everything is still cool. Hope you get your thing figured out.
