something ive always wondered...
you know those cars that are so low, that they have a 1cm wheel gap in front??? wellll, i always wanted to know- how the hell to those guys turn? i mean- chances are youre gonna have to take a turn AND hit a bump, which will kill your single centimeter of clearance....does this mean your tire hits your fender? or, are these shocks soo stiff that the gap isnt sacrificed and you feel every crack in the road?

Rep Power: 0 They probably get a lot of scraping. I always wondered how they even make it over speed bumps without destroying their cars. I'd be too nervous to own something that low unless I only showed my car.

Rep Power: 0 I have clicking from my right strut. When I drop my car, I am getting full coilovers I believe. In order to stop that cracking/clicking noise when I turn or hit a bump, what part do I have to make sure that they come with. Isnt it the upper mount or something? If I got inserts would it still make that noise since I would have to reuse part of my strut? I didnt want to start a new forum, sorry. I will be lowering about 2" in a month or month 1/2, and need something good for street. I have read and read and read and searched and searched and searched. It seems like the upper mount I need, and some full coilover setups come with new ones.
edit - I just came across this and have no idea why i posted this in here. my bad.
