My only question I have though is with my suspension.
When going over some bumps or holes in the road my rear right makes a plop type of noise. Only had the coilovers on for 200 miles and all of that was basically highway miles, but wondering if this noise is going to stay forever or just the system getting settled?

It's possible that they are just breaking in. Can you more specifically describe the sound?

Check your sway bar end link. Check your suspension bushings. Check your pre-load.

The 'plopping' sound is you crapping yourself when a Red Goat pulls up next to you at the lights.

Looking good Matt, maybe the 'Unicorn' car will re-appear in the parking lot tomorrow.
