tein s spring ??

[cincymsp]

Alright I lowered my car w/ tein s springs and now in the rear there is a clunk when I hit a bump on the road!! It's not everytime but it is alot! I don't know what I did wrong or what!! I am going to re-check everything down there but want some info if anyone had any ideas. Maybe the spring isn't sitting right, I don't know, PLEASE help.
thanks in advance!!

Do you need to cut the bumpstops with those springs? I did for my ground controls... but thats a little different.

When my rear was clunking I had to run around with a 17mm socket and my torque wrench and check every damn bolt (including the top bolts). A few got loose after a little while.

No it was the bushing connected to the rear sway bar, but thanks!! I mite cut the bump stops to lower it more b/c the rear sits higher then the front!
How much did you cut off your bump stop just curious?

FYI cutting the bump stops will not lower the car any more that what the springs already have lowered the car ,Triming the stops allows for more travel of the strut . The reason you trim the stops is so you dont slam it the stops under full compression of the spring ,which does really werid things to the handling .you go to no springs when u are on the stops .
