SPL rear titanium mid links, springs???

gomer_110 · 02-09-2016, 10:29 AM

When I installed mine I had the pop the first time I tried pulling out of my driveway. Scared the sh!t out of me. After that it never happened again. All I could ever figure was one of the springs wasn't seated properly on the top mounting surface. Maybe try rotating the springs 90°. Also, does disconnecting the rear sway bar help at all?

As far as adjustment goes there's no way in hell I can move the perch without removing the spring but then again I'm also running 900 lb/in springs on mine. I would think with a softer spring and the rear of the car off the ground you should be able to adjust them though.

I'll try rotating them, but it shouldn't make a difference, they're flat on both sides.
I have no rear sway bar.

And that's what I said, BULLSHÍT a human can move the perch... I called SPL they guy said you should be able to, it won't be easy, but it's doable... I couldn't move it worth a damn, lol

Could you potentially post a pic of your setup? One side with like your cell phone under the car is fine. Just trying to see if my setup looks way the hell off...

Thanks in advance

Here you go. The reason I suggested rotating the springs was as you can see in my pics, the spring is not compressed perfectly up and down. The thought was maybe the way the spring was compressing two of the coils were coming together.

Another thought, is there any chance your shocks are binding somewhere through their stroke? I know my shocks have a spherical upper mount to help them articulate better. Maybe yours are just sticking and the pop is when they release.

By the way you owe me one now. Laying on a cold concrete floor in ~20° weather sucks.

Last night I adjusted the buckets all the way up... Still clanks like crazy

As for the strut binding, how would I know/check? (The sound is DEFINITEY) from the springs though.

Update:

KW Variant 3 Coil-overs
Hotchkis 370z front sway bar
SPL PRO Front Upper Camber/Caster Arms
SPL PRO Front End Links Spherical
SPL Eccentric lockout kit

SPL TITANIUM Rear Mid Links
SPL TITANIUM Rear Camber Arms
Swift Springs 65mm 5inch 10k
Swift Helper Springs H65-070-008

For those that posted issues with a popping noise or noise when going over bumps. Your issue is you do not have the required helper springs so when you hit a pot hole, bump, or your tire comes off the group, there is no pressure holding your rear springs in the midlink so it's the spring moving...this can be dangerous and your rear spring could come out under the right conditions. My car now drives like it's on rails and is an amazing ride. I have it at the perfect height, no more wheel gap, not slammed, and I can come up an inch or down 2 more inches using the midlink cup.
