New Ground Control Install
 
So I spent all evening putting on some Ground Control slip-cover coilovers or whatever you want to call them....they look great but with one problem....my right front (passenger) strut/spring makes a popping sound after about two turns of the steering wheel....the drivers side is fine...anyone have this problem and get it corrected? I'm going to pull off the wheel in the morning and check to make sure everything is tight and snug....hoping someone has had this problem and can shed some light on it....thanks everyone...

Your car is awesome.:bigthumb: P5s look so sweet dropped.

It's your springs popping itself in and out of place. If I'm not mistaken, you may have to give it time to settle in and adjust. I think this is the solution for it, if not someone will correct me. My rear springs popped for a few days then stopped.

BTW, did I tell you your car is HOT.
:D

I found the problem after calling their tech support....we left out the little plastic bearing plate on the top of the aluminum top hat....now we've installed it and it rides great! I'm a happy camper....thanks everyone for your help..
