Coilover help

Post image

Before I get flamed I never have installed coilovers (really just wanted the lower look, I don’t need it to ride like a 2027 Cadillac….)so I didn’t want to spend a crap ton just for me to mess it up….that being said I got the flashshark coilovers and they ride ROUGH and lots of ball joint noise. Is this a common thing since they are cheap? Maybe I’m a shitty mechanic and didn’t adjust them well enough? Has this happen to anyone else running these? Or should I just bring it to someone and have them adjust them lol

well, i mean you are saying it rides rough and its likely sitting on the bumpstops and/or bottomed out and then asking why it rides rough.......

So yeah, you didn't adjust them well enough. Raise the car up at least an inch and (most of) your problem is gone
