I'm getting this popping sound on both sides in the front when I turn (either way) and on bumps.

What's causing this?

I just finished putting on Eibach Sportlines on my si sedan and the rear has like 2 1/2 finger gap and fronts have about 1 1/2 finger gap....

Did you cut the rear bump stops? I remember reading something about drilling? I looked over the other DIY but didn't see anything.

I only cut the front on mine because i didn't want to drill anything and my ride height is even front back hopefully everything was installed correctly

Sometimes the front will settle faster then the rear etc give it a week or 2 you should be fine.

haha. Do you have any pictures of your car?

 

Let me see if i can find something i had some really good 1's a freind took but then they were deleted off his photo bucket !

Crappy pics but oh well - In person its dead even i can hardly get a finger in front or back almost tucked but not lol i also have 3 friends with the same springs and they are fine as well

 

Nice! How long did it take to settle like that?

 

1 week its funny because a week after i put them on my car was almost totaled by a 18 wheeler so i never even got an alignment before i was hit but it handled alot better and was more planted in corners. I would be patient with it it happens if worse comes to worse just go over the rear install again

Yeah I remember seeing that thread

But yeah, I can't drive right now anyways, I dropped a socket in the little pocket thing where the top nuts are for the front shocks. Waiting for a ride to get a little magnetic stick

 

Ok got it out but now I got another problem...

Doing it now...is the arrow supposed to face towards me or away?

Also when putting the spring back into the top "spring seat" are you supposed to make twist all the way around?

 

Both arrows are now facing the engine/frame and I also torqued everything down to fct. spec this time lol.... I think also had both the top and bottom spring seat on wrong

It's too damn cold and dark right now, but test drive comes t/m.

Would that cause it to make popping noises?
