Help a girl out!
Okay, right now I have stock struts w/Skunk2 Coil-overs. I have a terrible clunk-a-clunk-bump-bump-squeeeeeeeeeeeak thing that is pissing me off.
So, I'm looking to upgrade in the future and would like to know what a good combo is for those of you that have already been the Guinea pigs. I need a good handling, most likely adjustable, strut & spring or coil-over combo that can ride as well on the track as it does on the street. It also needs to be LOW (hahaha!!!). No off-road P5 for me
I guess if nothing else works I can always upgrade the stereo so that I have booming bass that will cover up the clunk-a-clunk-bump-bump-squeeeeeeeeeeeak sound

i can't help with the ultra-low suspension but I can help with the squeeks. I like to coat the spring seats and strut mounts in vaseline before re-installing them. Also, wrapping the top and bottom rung of the spring in electrical helps sometimes. it gets gooey and acts like a sliding cushion.
You're not hitting the bumpstops are you? I've not had any bumps aside from hitting the stops.

No, not hitting the bumpstops. The lithium grease cures noise problems somewhat, but I'm sure it is time to upgrade the suspension anyway.
