Ok now for an update. I went to my buddies how and adjusted the phb and torqued everything down and took it for a spin and haven't heard any noise sense, besides my exhaust lol.

-Sam I would have called you but it was too late so if you see this before I can call thanks and it does feel like a new car.

I have koni sa 4/4, sam's springs and double adj phb

I was about to ask why your stance looks so much better compared to other pics with strano springs... what is the drop with his springs??

very nice improvement and the drop is perfect. Are you running td's and if so, how is the clearance??

I ASSUME you put a fully synthetic grease on the endlinks. My old endlinks were noisy but I put My Strano setup on a week ago and it's quiet as a mouse now. Like a whole different car, huh? I love mine mine and the stance is PERFECT. I don't drive a pig anymore!!!! I would make sure your endlinks are tight enough cause Sam told you to install them barely tightened and maybe they just need a good couple turns???

Glad to know your noise is gone. Loose things tend to make racket, which is good.... you went and found it and tightened the stuff up.

Enjoy, and I'm very happy to hear you like the results. I work hard to not only sell the correct parts, but help you setup the shocks and such for the intended results.

Is it just me or does it seem like Sam's springs are lower in the back than they used to be. I'm not complaining. I think it is a good thing. I just remember the first few cars that I saw compared to the last few like this one and Tiago's and it just seems that there rears are lower.
