Idk sounds like theyre bottoming out...but the car isnt even slammed anymore, and it only does it on fast bumps...idk makes me wish I couldve gotten PIC or koni yellow/gc

Still have 2 inches to go at least. I'm going to raise it though, roads around here really suck. Mad construction. Preload untouched.
