Few Questions *HELP*

Ok. I had my car lowered, on Eibach Sportlines, and SPC Camber kit. Well the first "problem" is that the front looks a good bit lower than the back. I asked the guy who lowered it and he said after it's driven around a while, the springs will settle and it'll be lower. Is this true?

Second question. Something about the car being lowered is messed up and he is trying to fix it. Whenever you turn it makes this horrible clicking noise. But when the car is up in the air, it doesn't make the noise. He said it would be like some kinda rods or something, I don't really remember.. Any idea?

it will look different a month later. let it settle. my sedan is actually lower in back. did he align the arrows on the shocks when putting spring back? i can't explain too well. most of the lowered guys here have some sort of noise problem with clunking and such.

when i first lowered mine it was making a pop sound when i turn the wheel all the way but after a wile it stoped. it could be the bearings or he just didnt align the top cap the right way.

im having the same problem but on progress sport springs.

my front passanger clunks a little on bumps and such, but not when turning. although i never had any problems with my h&r

and the springs will settle still, but for how long, i've been trying to do a search..many people say it varies ???

a few days, a week or so, a month (as someone posted earlier)
so that i'm not to sure on either

Struts are not indexed and it is a problem to all noises from the front after sprins/coils insall...
Search for strut indexing or our civics and all yor problems will go away.
Any unnessessary noise that you hear indicates a problem. Indexing your struts is a solution.
