Sprint Springs
I just got them installed and the ride is EXCELLENT. It's actually pretty smooth and i can go over bumps and in-n-out of places without scraping (2" drop).
ok now my question...sometimes when i hit a bump i hear a "clunk" noise, as if something snapped or fell out of place.. (mostly in the front left side)
any ideas?

Not sure about that, I just got my sprint 2" drop put on like 2 weeks ago but the back end is lowere than the front did you have that problem or did the performance place put them on wrong. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 My back is getting lowered as days go by. The first day it had a 3 finger gap...now after a week it has a little less than a 2 finger gap.

Rep Power: 417 the rear to drop slightly over a period of time is normal, my neuspeeds only took 2 days for it to completely settle inside the bushings... however some (cheap) springs itself settle causing it to drop lower even after a couple months...
as for the clunk noise, ALOT of people get that noise when they get springs/coilovers installed... some of the noise is the springs settling(mine made it for about a month)... some of the noise is caused by the springs not sitting on the lower/upper perch correctly... this doesn't necessarily mean they installed it wrong tho. its been about 2-3 months since i had my car dropped and i still get that noise... i have checked the shocks/struts and nothing seems to be wrong so i just live with it... you could try greasing(such as wd40 or actual grease you use on hinges,forgot what it was called) your springs where it sits on the upper/lower perch, some have said that worked...

Rep Power: 0 The camber kit ... i haven't bought it yet, but i was thinking of buying some "ebay camber kit" that is selling for $5-10...it's just a bolt and a nut, but some say it works, not much to lose here. The place where i bought it from want $100 for installation (edited to make it clear).. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] Lopez Tires And Wheels, Nice guys but yeah...charging a little too much.

Rep Power: 417 $100 for the rear camber kit is actually good. the front is around $20, dont really need it tho. but ya the back shouldnt be just a bolt/nut, it should be a replacment although someone has said you could use metal rings and put them on where the control arm bolts to the car..
