Default GSR Front suspension issue

My suspension in the front is tight almost like the sound when jumping on a trampoline. I was gunna go with the tein 2inch frop and susp. kit good. Now with that said do I need to trplace shocks or get new teins? You can really hear it when you go over a speed bump.

Have you verified that its the shocks making the noise. Somtimes its the ball joints making the noise. I think before taking action verify the source of the noise. Or even the hinge on the uca's. Control arm bushings. So, many possibilities.

It seems like you are gonna drop your car anways. Its always good to get aftermarket shocks when replacing your springs. kyb, tokico, bilstein. Always upgrade your dampening force when you upgrade your spring rate so they coincide. Its a lil more money but in the end you will be much happier, and your head wont be bouncing from all the bumps you go over.

well its probably something in the suspension, but youve got more than shocks that could be doing that. Definetely check the shocks though. How many miles?
