I have 15000 miles on my car and since I dropped it I started having issues over time and I'm sick of it. I already damaged one 02 sensor ifrom right cat because I scraped it from being to low while going over speed bumps. What drives me crazy is when I have people in my car going over any bump like tonight I hear a deep grinding sound that sounds like I just grinded through my pipes, this makes me scared to put on my MXP . So to some things up I already have a ses light on from a damaged sensor an I keep scraping what else could go wrong? And what is also a concern? I look under the car and feel like I fd something else up... I sometimes regret the S techs I think I may switch to eibach but won't look. As good

 

Switch to Eibach's if its going to keep giving issues and trouble, No one likes a car problem on their head 24/7, Have peace of mind. Just consider yourself lucky that you don't live in NYC Lol.

 

Stechs are quite low. They are also more for looks, so with weight in the car they will sag and go even lower. If you like the way they look, then i would just recommend telling your passengers to get a ride elsewhere. Also, you could get some coils and stiffen up the suspension, so going over speedbumps wont flex the springs as much.

I am quite low on KW coils but i take caution on whatever route i decide to drive on. Also, if i have more than 1 passenger i just tell them lets take another car, its not gonna work.

How you holding up on the wait time for the MXP's! I'm really starting to get anxious for mine lol.

 

Tanabe coilovers, then you can play with the adjustment until you find a nice compromise and gain an improvement in handling.

 

I'm so impatient for my MXP !!! I'm really afraid I will damage it though! Even when I pull out of a drive way if it is a little Stepe I will hear that awful grinding sound.

 

I know my stock exhaust is fd up I looked at the cats and they are scraped bad!!!

 

The grinding noise is not the exhaust, its the bumper bracket that needs to be trimmed, I did it
Hope this helps...

bumper bracket???

 

yeah I just added to my previous post sorry

 

Well there seems to b no rubbing issues I'm just talking about when I go over speed bumpse or steep curves I am hittting metal on the ground the car is just to dam low ! Do you ever have similar problems with h&r

 

H&R is even lower than Stechs.

 

I read the thread again. Carefully and shariff states a humming sound that I actually do hear but I thought it was actually having to do with tires or the neg camber in front . Anyway that sound is really Anoing and if this can v fixed maybe you can help me solve this solismo , I just want to make sure it's done right

 

its the fender bracket. refer to the link above.. u see in the pictures, the bolt? mine is shaved ALL the way until the only thing left is the bolt.. all the metal part around the bolt is gone. no more rubbing for me.

but when i go on dips and bumps at some speed i still rub, but thats cuz im too low in the front.

try to take bumps slowly and at an angle. or u can do this

yeah I dont rub as much at all after the trimming, when my wife drives by herself in the car there is no rubbing at all. Ill still rub on hard bumps but I can still cut some more off. I just need a rotary, Id be more than happy to help

 

I would appreciate it , I hate to have to cut anything on my car though.
