I had the clunking noises when they were first installed (kinda bothered me). After I drove around on them for a week, they settled some and the noise became less frequent and quieter. Then after I adjusted the ride height to be lower the noises went away.

I remember you told me you were slammed in the rear. When Shane was adjusting the ride height, I got within .25" of being slammed and it was way too low, so I raised it up to ~.5-.75" from being slammed in the rear. I have no idea how low I am compared to stock. I would guess a little more than 2".

You are definitely sitting lower than I am. My front bumper sits a bit lower than stock so that may make my car appear lower. I'm also running 245/40/19s F&R, if I had lower profile tires my stance probably wouldn't look as low.

you think its just cause that im slammed and when i got over an uneven part of the road it makes alot of noise it only happens on the rear right side. im thinking about lowering my front after seeing how low dahkyne is.

It seems a lot of people did a wrong installation including the shop I took it too.
Is the spring assembly in the first pic correct? Have not really seen it in that orientation before. Dur sorry that's what you were saying. lol

the spring setup on the first one is incorrect
the 2nd photo is the correct way they are suppose to be installed.
(this only applies to the newer revised bc coilovers).
