BC ER, SPL Install and Adjust

I had a clunking sound as well on my coil overs. It turns out I hadn't tightened down hard enough with the spanner wrenches. Check your shock length adjustment knobs

I had a clunking sound as well on my coil overs. It turns out I hadn't tightened down hard enough with the spanner wrenches. Check your shock length adjustment knobs and make sure they're all completely tightened down.

As far as height adjustment with the spring is concerned, that's just the nature of it. Car needs to be up to adjust height because you don't want to adjust with load on the spring anyway. You want to set the car down, take a tape measure and figure out how low you want to be and adjust accordingly. Don't eyeball.

Checked everything over again and all bolts and locknuts are tight. It's not the lock rings as those are all tight. It sounds almost if it were hitting the bump stops but that doesn't sound reasonable given the speed I'm traveling and the limited scale of the bumps. Maybe I'll be able to tell once I set the camera up.
