Re: only when it rains

i "had" the same problem...

ill bet you dont have stock suspension.

i had some cheap coilovers, bought Ground controls and some Tokicio.

Its all good nothing is going to fall off.

i always thought it was the "sleeve" of the coilover.

Re: only when it rains

its the type R grill^

personally id recomend getting a whole new set of coilovers. (just because thats what i did)

also if you taking it to the same shop, the problem could be the installer from the get go...

maybe try a new shop...

Re: only when it rains

nope nothing will fall off, nothing will break...
