check to make sure the sturts are reassembled in the correct order. I did this on a friends eclipse and accidently put the bumpstop on the outside of the boot....big noises but the car handled great.

Looks great, and so do the wheels!
The clunking sound may also be your endlinks. If they're still the stock ones, they're probably a little too long (now that the car's dropped) and may be preloading your swaybars. That's no bueno.
Check the endlinks...Look for a clean spot where they may be coming in contact with something..

um, a little tricky, like, you need to know how to use a spring compressor, but the hard part was just getting the strut out of the lower control arm....
everything else went perfectly.....
and krazieFox, im thinking of getting a RX8 wing sometime next year...
cuz those wings kinda curve to the body lines.
i want something carbon fibre, but i dont know what....

yupp. 17's.
and about the wing, im sure i can get it cheaper, i just did a quick search on google, and thats what i found....
oh, and eggy, the only think i found that may be hitting is where the sway bar bushing ataches to the lower control arm.
but it's weird, the noise only happens every once in a while now.. so im happy.
i guess the problem figured itself out....
