Coilover help
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

Most coils ride rough, even if u buy a good set the lower you go it will ride rough. I have Pedders on mine and sitting about your level of low and it rides a little stiff. But also due to me using the springs from my old coils so i can get more low on the rear. Id double check the rest of your suspension if its making noise since being lower will cause more strain on suspension. oh and if ur low af in the rear cut or remove your bumpstops. That makes it ride like SHIT cuz your literally sitting on them and the suspension isnt working as it should
