    Thanks man im not sure how but the grinding noise might be the endlink and lower control arm. How would you fix this? Adjustable endlinks?

    As for the other noise i'll check the endlinks but it happens when i turn left or right on only on one side.

    Check the tightness of your wheelnuts first (seriously!). I reckon a loose wheel could be the cause of your grinding noise.

    Centrifugal force generally keeps things in place at speed, lower speed turning is where you would notice it.

    Hey can you please update this with the latest review.

    Reason I decided coil-overs and DGR's was mainly cause price was quite cheap at the time and only yellow-speeds came close to them $$$ wise. Was considering Springs and Shocks but for a set up i liked would cost over $1200. Plus if I wasn't happy with height i couldn't change it.

    Installation wasn't too bad it takes a while but not many big issues thanks to Malicioso (Alex). Turned out my rear shocks were on the way out any way, so was happy to replace them. We didn't get height right first which took us a while to redo and probably added 1.5 hours.

    I love the stance atm, and it not that low that it scrapes only on shocking driveways and if im not careful and drive front on into a parking spot. It did settle a bit after installation give it about 2 - 3 days to fully settle it.

    Handling is seriously very good, for my area I'm running the fronts on a soft 5 out of 32 and the rears on 16 out of 32 and its not harsh at all. If the roads were better like in the Western Suburbs I'd have no issue running 10 on fronts. It's the fronts that affect the ride the most I've found.

    Showing it a few corners the night after we installed the coil's and was amazed and how flat and stable it was. Few bumps mid bend didn't unsettle the car where i thought it would. So I'm very happy.

    Alignment wise didn't need to much and the rear didn't need camber arms even though i brought some for it. If your in Melbourne and need Wheels, Tyres or anything go to Protek Tyres & Wheels they are a very nice bunch of guys and did a great job. Alignment and ensuring all corners of the car were level took only an hour. If you do run wider rubber then 225 on the rear id recommend rolling the rear guards (depends on the height).

    Any other questions let me know .

    Big thanks to Troy (2XS) for sourcing them
    Alex (Malicioso) for doing 95% of the installation
    Protek for Alignment and adjustment on the height.
