coilovers
so about a year ago I put some dropzone coilovers in my car and slammed my car to the max likr 4inches....but ever since them I've been to cheep to spend money on new struts...but i cant take the f'n noise anymore. evertime i hit a pot hole or a bump it sounds like someone is under my car setting off bombs. How can I fix this ? is new struts my only answer ? what kind of struts do i need to buy and how much is it going to run me?

Rep Power: 0 probably cause your suspension is real stiff. i have springs on stock struts. only thing it does is make a pop noise when i turn the wheel far sometimes. my drop isnt slammed though so i dont hit speed bumps and all that and i dont need a camber kit either cause its not real far of a drop. my tires wear how they did without the drop. you should get a camber kit to if you get the new struts. if your slamming it that low you deff need those.

He should have gotten a camber kit with the springs not with the shocks.
He is bottoming out, his shocks are toast and probably his bushings. I would also check the oil pan and tranny for leaks...
Read the FAQ and search for answers on shocks.

Rep Power: 388 Uh they are blown...get new ones...problem solved.
You can't dump your car and expect stock shocks to take it for over a year. Your bushings may be ripped too, so I would check those out.
