i have tokiko blue and suspension techniques and i dont know why! oh yeah i have a 92 gs. also when i hit a kinda big bump, it sounds like the strut hits the bottom of the car, if that makes any sense. the back never does that. also i know for a fact that the driver side cv axle or joint, not sure, could that be the problem. thanks for your help.
i almost forgot...im really thinking of getting stock/not lowered springs to replace the st springs. the reason for this is because i live in new orleans and we have the worst streets in the united states. and i cant afford getting all my suspension ruined. my springs are a couple of weeks old and ill probably sell them if i get new springs. does anyone know where i can get these oem spings or not lowered springs.
thanks for all the help.

Re: front lower then back and makes noise
The coils of your springs might be touching each other.

I have the same setup and mine do the same thing... it does sound like they are hitting the underside of the car.

Re: front lower then back and makes noise
I have Suspension Technique lowering springs paired with ZX2 Struts. The coils do in fact hit eachother, i've already taken it in to have it looked at. It won't do any damage, i just live with the clunking.
Re: front lower then back and makes noise
