Did you adjust the height of the springs at all? The grinding noise sounds like it could be coming from the springs like rusty said, but most likely because there is very little pre-load on the spring. This with addition to the fact you could possibly have the dampers adjusted to tight (stiff setting). If the damper in the rear was not re-torqued properly either after a quick drive, its possible they are loose and shifting around on the bolts.

For future readers with similar issues ^^^^


Hey man sorry it's been a whirlwind of a couple weeks.

Quick update: Took the car to Cobbs and they said it was essentially the shitiest pair of coilovers they've ever seen. They had a suspension specialist on it for 5 hours and only charged me half they felt so bad. I'm gonna go back to stock now and save for some solid BC's or another quality set.

Thanks to everyone for the advice!!!
