Default suspension???shat!!!

Right now i have skunk2 coilover with agx adjustable, i like them a lot but they make too much damn popping noise.

So i wanted to get a full coilover by this coming summer.

I got stuck on choosing function/form2 and pic apex, I heard great thing about those 2 coilover especially pic.

I was thinking of buying pic apex but the damn function/form have adjustable damper and pic doesn't.

Rght now im going crazy on thinking which one should i get.

Leaning more toward pic apex.


function seem to be similar to dc2 and k sport in a way

what is the popping noise you speak of? ive head all sorts of setups. never had my springs popping..

maybe your struts are blown and the noise you are hearing is your car bottoming out.

don't know dude i just hear this thumping sound. a lot of people told me that my spring are setting in so it make that thumping sound.

or it could be my trailing arm bushing are bad because my rear end does move around a lot at certant speed.

coilover springs don't settle like drop springs. you ever tried to compress a coilover spring?

oh it even thump when i jack up the rear only.

i think its my lca bushing because i tighten them while my car was in the air.

I see other thread that people say 'you should only tighten them when your car is on the ground'.

my strut are fine because i push the rod down and it came right back up when i install the sleeve 2 months ago.

i have some koni yellows w/ H&R sports and love it. adjustable dampers are awesome.. even if youre not autocrossing. go with an adjustable package, whatever you go with

same dude, i really love my skunk2 coilover sleeve with agx i might end up keep them till my shock blows lol

be taking them freeway corner everyday hitting about 90,yes i was in the car by myself and no1 is near my surrounding.(-- that doesn't sound right, gosh i hate english.

I think my thumping sound is gone because i just retighten them lca bolt when my car was on the ground.

it does make that old door hinge sound a little when i go into a incline but i think thats normal.
