hmm, these or buddy club? how stiff are these, to me the spring rates don't make any sence, with such a huge gap. i know its mostly about the valving and the dampening, but are these really stiff? can you get a OEM feel on the softest setting?

My right rear side is silent, but my left rear makes a clunk noise under light bumps. I've took it out and re-tightened everything. I have a bit of preload on the spring as well. I also put Dynamat on the uppermounts between the body of the car and uppermount. That seemed to help a bit but the noise is still there. Any ideas?

Well, I rechecked everything & it seems nice and tight. The funny thing is that the squeaking seemed to have gone away now. We'll see how it goes though once I do a little more driving.

Tried the Stances last weekend on my car and they were pretty awesome. I must say, the performance and ride quality of these are top notch. The only gripe I had is that my 315 wide tire rubs on the rear . Nothing a 3mm spacer and some rolled fenders wont fix.

a friend of mine has the HKS LS+'s, and i really like the comfort it offers. however, at full slam, it gets crappy (not fully height adjustable).

I've also used the tow hook to zip-tie my transponder to...but the transponder I was using was much smaller.

Well, I drove a littlem more today & the squeeking is still there 
. I think I'm going to take it completely off to make sure everything is in order. I might look into someones suggestion of putting some sort of rubber spacer to see if it helps. Kinda sounds like the springs making the noise though. Sounds like it maybe rubbing something as it compresses. As I've mentioned, the noise factor is the only thing I really don't like since I love how this rides. Oh well...I'll keep you guys posted...

Edit: I just got back from driving from my GF's house & it hardly made a squeak this time. This thing is definitely moody
