I can tell the difference, as the ride is stiffer than the stockers. They are a little bouncy over rougher roads (i.e. uneven freeways), so i'm not sure if that is natural for the Prodrives or if it needs more time to settle in. I still need to get an alignment as well.

I have noticed what sounds like a metal on metal knocking noise coming from the right side I think. Usually when the car is pulling into or out of driveways or in dips in the road. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this after lowering their car. I think it may be the rear sway bar hitting my exhaust, but thats on the left side, so i dont know. I looked at the exhaust and there was blue paint from the sway bar, so that maybe the culprit.

BTW, got the seat belt harness fixed. A major pain in the ass though and for some reason the only tap tool that worked was a standard and not a metric?!!

i've never had that sway bar thing happen on any of my cars.. i don't think springs would lower the body into the sway bar.. anson???:confused:

I dont think so either. I heard it again when I left the meet last night. Its coming from the right side rear for sure. Next install meet i'll have it looked at.
If you don't mind, I'll drive it for a few minutes to see where it's coming from. I might also have to take the entire assembly out & see if the spring rotated out of place.

Hey you guys, sorry I've been MIA for awhile. Finally got my wagon back from the shop! Looks really good. They did a good job. Actually looks better now than ever before! Anyways, so what's new? When's the next meet?

Hey Anson, I noticed my front driver side suspension is starting to make some loud sounds when I brake. It started after we did the spring install. Any suggestions on what it might be? Thanks!
