lemme give you some background info: i cut the front springs big time (had like 1.5 coils left). car looked sweet and ride wasnt as bad as ud expect but couldnt pass inspection. so i opted for Intrax 323 GTX springs. ride is alot better but I miss the tire nearly tucking. ne way some times when i turn the wheel sharply i'll hear a pop from the springs and it messes up the alightment (will pull to the left or right in regards to how i turned). i'm thinking maybe my struts got warped from when it was so low or something.what else could it be?
thanx for any replies.

Re: spring problems.
mine used to do that too. i THINK its just the spring settling back into place after you lift the car up with a jack. If thats what you did... for me it went away eventually so i didn't worry about it. <p>dave
Re: spring problems.
when u cut the coils down from the top they get bigger so only part of the top spring hat is filled so it sits sideways. thats what mine did. only wanted to see wat 1.75 lowered would do cuz i was getting springs but i cut to much off. it was like 2.25. but yah get springs its a lot safer.
