I have just bought and installed progressive H&R lowering springs 29964-1 for Toyota Celica T20 (3S-GE 2.0L engine, 129KW, chassis code ST202). Immediately after install, i noticed clunking noise over even slightly rough terrain. Also noticed that two lower coils are binding together when the car is stationary with no extra load.
 Is this normal? Are those dead coils supposed to be there? Should i buy some sort of spring silencers? My setup includes brand new KYB Excel-G shock absorbers. This post has been edited by wazzuu: Sep 16, 2012 - 2:17 PM |

I really don't know how, but it seems that there are people who needed to short their, and there are other people who just mounted their short springs and everythings was just fine.
 My mechanic shorted the front shock for a 24mm, and there are no noises now. I specifically asked is there anything else they did with the suspension, they said no, just shortened the shocks. I just picked up the car, it seems OK for now. |
