[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] Matrix Coil-overs.

First of all, I bought them because they are cheap and adjustable springs. Hooked on the car, and first few miles it was fine... After a few miles I started noticing that it was becoming bouncy! In some pot holes my car would make a big "thud" sound. I checked my sturts if they were blown, and seem alright. No gooey stuff around it, knowing that it's not blown, and styll fine ryte now... By the way, the coil-overs was intalled on December 22 and struts are styll okay now. But just last week ago, when ever I turn it makes a squeak sound!!! How terrible! Brought it back to the shop for them to check it and they said it has something to do with the spring and top hat, that's what's causing the sound. Oh gosh, I regret getting these!!!

Now I'm off to buy springs because they seem to have no problems at all... I am looking forward to Eibach Sportlines but sheesh, they are expensive... Do any of you have any suggestions? I am looking for a 1.50" to 1.75" drop, H&R, Neuspeed? What kind? Also I like a "COMFORTABLE" ride please and a reliable well-known spring company... Also a priceline below 170, thanks!

Eibach are the BEST springs you could get.

Only threaded ones id get would be GC's but for sprigns stay away from H&R and Neuspeed.

1. They lower unevenly
2. The ride is horrible

Those are the reasons to stay away, but Eibach doesnt lower all the way either[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]But whatever Eibach is [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Isn't suppose to settle/adjust? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Maybe he didn't tighten the adjusting ring and the vibration loosened it up.
