Red face just got my goldlines on

i got my goldline springs on with spc camber in front and back about 5 days ago. anyone else with goldlines- can you tell me what the finger gap is?? ive got about 2 fingers front and back, but it sounds like the guys who installed my springs didnt cut the bump stop like they were supposed to. does this affect the height of the overall drop? sometimes when im parked- it seems like the finger gap gets bigger or smaller, but i guess thats due to an uneven ground surface.

next- my steering wheel shakes when i hit 70mph.. i get a click or two when i turn left all the way. and my allignment is weird- it randomly chooses which way to go- but it never seems to be straight, is this because of my 17"s?? supposedly it was alligned with the 17"s on.

any input is greatly appreciated
thanks

I have goldlines 1 finger gap all around with 18's. Car shaking when you hit 70, i would bet its a bent rim. Popping noises, i STILL have them every once in a while, even with replaced tierods and perfect indexing. Car gap get bigger and smaller, probley cause you at an angle.

Try rotating your front wheels to the back on the same side. If the shaking feels like its coming from the rear, your tire could be out of balance or you have a bad sidewall or tread. If they didnt cut the bumpstops you'll bottom out quicker since there less travel. They should of been cut like Goldlines website mentions. On a flat straight road, your car should drive straight. If it doesnt it could be an alignment issue, tire problem or your recent spring installation problem. You have to eliminate the possibilities. I would go back to the shop and mention that you now hve these problems and see what they say.
