At first I dropped my car with the SppedTech adjustable lowering kit without the adjustable part. So basically I changed the springs. That dropped it too low and I counldn't turn. Yesterday, I put the adjustable portion on so I cold raise it and inch or so. No rub, but now there's all kind of squeaking going on. Any help to fix the noises would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

 

did you lubricate your bushings with some teflon grease? might want to try that

 

No, I didn't try any type of lube. So, do you don't think the shocks are bad??

 

you'll know if the shocks are bad... id dropped my 98 accord without getting new ones.. the back held up fine but I dropped the front and the front shocks gave out on me and all the oil inside of em came pouring out... if they gave out you would've known... and if yougo over the slightest bumps the car just bounces like a boat on sum intense waves

 

What size wheels and tires do you have? I have 18's w/225/40's.

wtf. How long have you been working on cars?

 

not very long! i just started working on my car myself, cuz i got tired of paying labor...etc. any suggestions?

 

Ebay type coilovers have been known to make noises. Are you sure the coilover is on the right way?

 

I GOT INTO THE WHEEL WELLS TODAY AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE FRONT SHOCKS ARE BLOWN. IT WAS BLEEDING OUT OIL AND WHATNOT. IF I CHANGE THE FRONT SHOCKS, DO I NEED TO CHANGE THE BACK ALSO?

 

Well it'd probably be a good thing to do haha
