Default suspension installed!

Installed LCA's, relo brackets, panhard "on car" adjust., and subframe connectors yesterday. Took it to the track last night and spun the tires hard, but no wheel hop like before. Guess it is putting more to the ground. Only thing ive noticed as far as problems is a "clunk" noise sometimes when I'm turning.

I ran 2 tenths slower with shitty nitto drags and zero track preperation. ET streets will be mounted this week and Ill try again.

Any ideas as far as the noise?

As far as the clunk was everything torqued and greased? You still running the stock torque arm?

Tighten the front control arm mount where the SFC's mount. With the SFC's being there this area needs to be torqued more to compress the bushing, try 90 ft lbs in these area. This is also in the installation instructions
