Hey guys my camaro is making a clunking noise in the passenger front area and i can feel it in the floor board as well. Im thinkin its my struts because i noticed they have oil leaking out of them. I was thinking about getting the bilsteins but i want the koni. I just dont know if i can afford to throw down 800 bucks. The car is a dd right now but soon to be a weekend fun car. I do plan on lowering the car sometime soon probably on the strano springs. What does everyone think. ANy other opinions would be great. Im no suspension guru thats for sure. thanks guys

trans mount is good and my mechanic said everything looked good except the oil coming out of the struts. The noise only happens over bumps and when i take off a liittle fast from a light. It pops.

try checking your lower control arm bolts. they have to be torqued down pretty hard to keep from clunking.
i know when i put my BMR lca's in...i didn't tighten them enough, first test drive they clunked.
if you're planning to lower later....get the Koni's now. you won't regret it. basically the best shock out there...stock height or lowered. fully adjustable and fully rebuildable.
and Strano has them on discount right now....

yeah i know the koni's are the way to go. I guess its time to save some cash and do the koni/strano set up. Hopefully i get the cash together while the sale lasts.
