What about the endlinks that are provided do you shorten them or make them the same height as the oem front links? Mine at the moment are about half the size of the oem front links.

It depends on how low the front coils are. The lower they are, the shorter the endlinks should be.

I have them as low as they can go with 2 rings removed and the spring pre load at 9 in. I plan on going 7 in to make the front moar low.

I know there's noise with any coilover system, but how much noise are y'all getting up front?

I think i figured it out..my end links are too short and the front sway bar is rubbing on the under body. I am going to extend them tomorrow and see if that solves it.

I'll mess with it tomorrow too, then. Does it almost sound like something is loose when you go over a bump?

Why you are hearing noises as well? Yeah kinda like a creaking-rubbing-squeaking noise.

Yeah, I just put the coils on a couple of days ago, and it was freaking my friend out, lol. And it's the same noises, it just varies depending on what I'm doing. I get a pop every once in awhile when I'm turning the wheels in place.

I had a knocking sounds when turning the wheel. I tightened the top, middle nut and all the noise went away. Try that first.

Nice. I'm raising the fronts back up today because I'm about to head back to school and the roads up in Denton are absolute ____. That and the back coils aren't cooperating.
