:confused: hey guys i{m a little concern... because i just installed a set of coilovers in my 96 and looks great, but the car start to jump! and i can hear that something is hitting in the coilover area... can you tell me what is that, or just need tu get the voil overs not so down, i download my car about 2 inches or more....!
:dsm: please let me know if you have any reason... thanks!!
 
Can you provide us with more information?
What coilovers did you install?
Did you install them yourself?
Did you get an alignment promptly after installation?
What wheels and tires are you using? What are their sizes/dimensions?

2" is pretty darn low though. I'm not suprised you're running into trouble.
Post back and we'll see if we(tuners) can figure it out.

One last thing, under what conditions do you experience this problem?
 
Did you put the yellow bumper stops from the old struts on the new struts? I am guessing you didnt. Also the word is dropped not download.
 
hey, guys i installed the coilover set that i bought at e-bay, it was installed for a mechanic, and i have not made the right allignement, i was thinking in do it before the installation... and i´m using a set of wheels 17 inches, and 205/40 tires....
 
Have you thought that a cheap set of Ebay coil overs could be the whole problem you are having?
 
:dsm: and i have the problem when the car is running... everytime that jumps i hear the noise... i think is in the chasis... i´ll take some piktures today so you can se the proboem, and i ask my mechanic which can be the problem!!
 
i don´t think that the problem are the coilovers... because something is hitting... and i thing that is that part that looks like the lucky bone from the chicken, the one that looks like ¨Y¨ letter....
