yo gold, can u post pix how low ur car is?

This would help substantially. If your car isn't as low as KO infamous or LowerMyCG5 then there may be an alternate problem, but if it is at their height (which I'm assuming is the lowest setting) then they are the ones to talk to.

Change your driving style and be more aware of the road

I never had that issue when I had them plus I live in Li and travel in nyc a lot where the roads are unforgiving

once you start tucking tire in the front is when your going to run into clearance issues. my UCA doenst hit unless i hit a huge bump. my only problem is rubbing in the inner wheel wel

This is making me worry, because I was about to order a set of Type 1's here soon. Now I'm not sure going lower is worth the problems I'll run into.

Also Did you mess with the setting on your suspension? your only suppose to adjust the bottom tab to raise car up or low!! if you messed with the top tab maybe thats why is bouncy?

+1

if u adjust them from the very bottom tab that bolts up to the car everything should be fine BUT if ur adjusting them by spinning the threaded part then the springs moves also causing them to get more slack meaning theres more room for the spring to move when you hit potholes, dips, ect......so it wont be as stiff as its suposed to be.

how do i know this?
because i was doing it the wrong way at first lol but i got it now :thumbsup:

rep if this helped any :)

Your uca will hit the strut tower with any coilover if your low enough. Type ones are great coilovers for the money.

Lol that is just the thing. I was planning on going really low. Tucked tires pulled fenders and everything. Now I'm not sure if its worth the money I've saved. I'll fight with it for a while longer. (And probably end up doing it anyways...)
