For those with Eibach Springs...

I had my Eibach Sportlines installed for about 4 months now. I still hear clinks and weird popping noises when I'm turning my wheel at a dead stop or when I'm at very slow speeds. Someone said that the springs need to be broken in, but I had mine for 4 months! Anybody?

You'd have much better luck checking in the suspension forum. This thread will probably be moved there shortly. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Anyhow, almost everyone that has lowered there car has the same noises that you are referring to. Do a search and someone explained how to fix it.

He is referring to sportlines, not prokits. Prokit isn't really a drop. The problems are associated with springs that actually lower the car.

that happened to me. my top spring perches were turned around backwards. i took them off and put them on the right way and the noise stopped. go to honda get them to copy the service manual for you. just the suspension part and get under there and get dirty. its not that hard. just make sure everything is aligned right and grease everything up. that should fix your prob.

ya the top perch has to be aligned right. also you should have a tubing around the bottom part of the spring that sits on the bottom perch. i didn't do neither so i have noises too, i'm almost positive its not doing any damage so i live with it.
