Eibach Sportline question. Hey guys I just had a set of Eibach sportline springs installed on my 99 TA. The front struts were also replaced with oem replacments. It's lower and looks great & I can live with the ride.However there is a slight knocking noise when you hit a small bump in the road or push down on the front of the car. Any ideas? I did a quick search before posting. I'm hoping someone has experianced the same thing.
Thanks in advance.

Ok so heres the deal. If I push on the rear of the car it rebounds like it should. If I push down on the front of the car there is no "spring" to it at all.If I need new struts I am willing to get them. I am just not sure what kind to get & where to buy them. Any input would be great.
Thanks again everyone.

OEM SHOCKS WILL NOT-REPEAT--WILL NOT WORK WITH SPRINGS AS LOW AS SPORTLINES...you made a major mistake--Sportlines ARE NOT TO BE DRIVEN ON unless a flat surface..A big dip or a pothole will kill them...and OEM shocks are crap.... 
BILSTEIN,KONI,almost any others...KYB are better.

Turned Lemons into Lemonade today. I cut one coil off of each stock spring & swapped Eibachs back for cut stock springs.It sits the way I want & rides great. Now I have a set of slightly used Sportlines for sale!
