aftermarket suspension = noise?

SE · 03-31-2010, 05:47 PM

If you have coilovers, it's the spring binding and/or spinning. Did you adjust the preload? This may be the cause of the popping sound. If it's coming from the front while you're turning it's definitely a binding issue.

Also, why does everyone feel the need to just slap on suspension parts and expect to be a handling god? You need to tune your setup to get the right feel.

To the OP- does the rear feel like it's sliding out during cornering? Adjust the dampening on the rear coilovers or take off your rear sway bar. The camber amount you are running is rediculous unless you're running that much just to fit crazy wheels. If not, adjust your camber because there's too little contact patch with the road except under heavy cornering. Reduce it to -2.0 or less and you should be fine.
