    I bought the v2's just before the drag event. Love em. Not so much of a "top heavy" feel when I'm turning hard. Great upgrade. Plus these things survived the gf test. She forgot I had em on, we rode to dinner and she couldnt even tell I was lowered. She was in my 3g eclipse when I lowered it on eibachs. You could tell that car was lowered (slight rattle, you feel more potholes etc...)

    Okay Thanks I FIXEd the problem it was NOT a problem with the Springs it was the INSALLERS lol me and my friend. Take note of this if your going to install springs. There are two holes one on the Bottom where the Springs mounts and one on the top where the spring sits called the "HAT" these two holes must be lined up or you will have the problem that I had of the springs making nosie over any bump. Here are a few pics to show you guys what i am talking about, Again its not a Road Race problem its an installer problem. Their springs are awsome!!!

    This is the hole on the Bottom, It will not move the base which its on is welded to the strut itself.

    this top hole is what moved to fix it like I did here all i did was take the wheel?tire off then undid the 2 19mm bolts, after that I undid the one 17mm bolt that compresses the spring to make it loose, then all I did was turn the spring so that the top hole lined up with the bottom hole AS PICTURED ABOVE problem sloved!

    THANKS ROMAN!

    did you use a compressor for the springs or did you do the control arm trick?

    I only had to use the spring compressor on the rear the front all i did was undue the 17mm bolt on the top in the middle slowly and this realeased the spring and vise versa.
