i would say over an inch.
is it normal for them to rattle over bumps?

[golde30]

mine do.

Oh yeah, I remember that rattle/squeek.

I applied lithium grease to all points where metal contacts metal. Noise gone.

Mine just rattle a lot when I go over bumps. I thought something MIGHT be wrong but I havent got a chance to check it out.

that sucks. Car really looks good now, but took a big hit in ride quality.
i have front 300/lb rear 475/lb. but i have to baby the car on any little imperfection on the road, the rear feels like there is no suspension any dimple on the road theres a huge bang.

any one have any ideas, experiences? i'll be looking into a "helper spring" thread floating around for the rattle, but the harsh ride????

uhh, i have 500/750 and i think its a harsh ride, but i got used to it. your rates seem more than bareable. they are actually softer rates than IE3's...

You are bottoming out. 300lb/in is too soft for a radically lowered car.

Trust me, I had 300lb/in when I first started. Tried 375lb/in and the ride became 10x better.
