I bought a kit with springs and shocks and it has always bugged me that with the car off the ground the fronts have 0 tension. I was wondering what kind of front struts I can get that will have a shorter piston? I just want these to quit popping and be a little tighter. Springs are 1.25" drop. :?

I like it tight though. ;) And I am happy with my cheapy springs aside from the creaky popping noises. I know if I had shorter strut pistons(like an inch) it would be quieter .:nice:Originally posted by 325ProjectzComment

It pops and shakes weird over speed bumps and driveways/ entry ways. It is irritatingOriginally posted by JoelRKaplan View Post
and I would like it to be tighter so I can feel the true benefit of my brace and Kopi's when they get here. When I had my struts out to install the camber plates I didn't even ahve to compress them to take the nut off, they had no tension! :(:nice:Originally posted by 325ProjectzComment

That's not a strut issue, my springs are so loose they have about 2 inches from the top of the strut and don't make any noise.Comment

I replaced the pads and bumpstops when I put the plates in and new front strut inserts while I had them out. I guess I will just replace my complete tie rod assembly and CA's and such and see if it still does it.

Do you have a powersteering rack with the pump unhooked?
Just give your front wheels a good shake when the car is jacked up, see if they move up and down or side to side and report back.Comment
