Hi,
Been having multiple problems since fitting H&R lowering springs to my edition 30 and was looking to the board to help.
A mate fitted the springs for me and I drove the car around for a 100 or so miles to get it to settle, everything seemed fine (well apart from the bone shattering ride) and no noises. Then took my car to have the alignment done, ever since they have corrected it i get a creaking at low speed maneuvering turning the wheel both ways.
I've taken the car to my local specialist (Vas works poole) and they seem to be stumped, they think the noise is coming from the steering coll-om and that it could be from being over stressed?
They have said the sub frame has been moved out to the absolute maximum by the people that have done the wheel alignment, I will post a picture of the before and after alignment in a bit...
They also said the front springs the springs are upside down? I couldn't see this making a difference personally but whats other peoples opinions.
The cars only done 17 000 miles so I can't imagine the noise is because of excess ware :S
Also has anyone else ran h and r springs with standard shocks? the ride to me is shocking, I would go to say it feels 40% stiffer than standard. Not sure weather to cut my losses and put the standard springs back on or throw more money at it and fit B8/fsd dampeners.
All my mods seem to be going wrong at the moment :( loosing faith!
