Loud ''SNAP'' Noise with coilovers
Sup guys, just installed my Stance GR+ coilovers couple days ago and im very happy with it. No annoying squeaks or anything like that but i do get this one scary noise. It RARELY happens but when i slowly go over a dip or jack my car down i hear this LOUD snap. Sounds like something broke, happened 3x the past week i had this(once in rear passenger, once in rear driver, and once in front passenger). Im really slammed right now, not sure if that has something to do with it. Let me know if you have any idea what it is. Thanks!

if your car is really low and you have the oem type rear... it might be the suspension unloading and the spring itself separating from the upper spring mount. since both are made of metal, as opposed to the rubber oem upper mount, when the spring compresses, you get that noise when the come back together.
see if you can adjust the rear shock so at the point where it mounts to the rear knuckle is a bit higher than if it's just hanging by the spring perch with the spring in. kinda hard to decribe... hope you understand.
