lowering car, now problems?! i recently put the eibach pro kit springs in my car with the stock shocks/struts.
1. i first noticed a noise that you can sort of feel on the floorboard of the passenger side while driving. it only happens when i go over a bump and it does not happen on the drivers side. any ideas of what this could be?
2. Also when i go over a large bump or railroad track the rear end now slams down pretty hard. will putting in a new set of shock/struts improve this? if so what kind? if not is there anything else i can do to help improve this?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks alot

How many miles do you have on your deCarbons? They usually good for a few thousand miles if they're fairly new. But if they're worn out to start with. Your car is gonna ride like ***.
That smacking your feeling is more than like the rear bump stop. It's more than likely time for you to get a new set of shocks.
Bilsteins seem to be the most popular ones..
Good Luck..

A few more things to check, make sure you have the rear springs positioned correctly and if the rearends off center you'll probably want to install an adjustable panhard rod.
