Damian, I don't think you'd be hitting the fenders. You're mostly likely hearing loud knocking sounds because your dampening is on the stiffest setting. I never even hit my fenders. Raise your front to level the car and soften up the fronts. Whats your damper settings for front and rear?

yeah i double checked it last night and i'm not hitting the fenders, it is just the stiffness. . .but i have bottomed out coming off of steep declines too quick. . .road construction sucks. . .i have it set at the highest level, 32, which i'll keep it on i'll just take it easy and do the speed limit. . .

Mine on half stiffness was good enough because it's a lot better than stock. Too stiff isn't always the greatest thing.

Any one know anybody in a service department in the New Orleans area?

Whats the deal with dealerships replacing a top under warranty? I have a small tear that I am 90% sure is being caused by a screw rubbing on the top when it opens and closes. I brought it in the other day, and the manager told me they have a $1000 limit on interior trim pieces, and a replacement top would surely be over $1000, so he needs to check before he can replace it.....

So do I. He said he wants to fix it because that's how they make money, but he just needs to go through the proper channels.
